According to Tuttosport`s headline this morning, the call is clear: `Tudor Wakes Up Vlahovic and Kolo`. Today, ahead of the 6:30 PM match between Parma and Juventus, the spotlight is firmly on the striking duo, who are currently enduring a two-month goal drought. This prolonged dry spell has reportedly already cost the club a significant 6 million euros in wages alone.
With Kenan Yildiz potentially starting the game from the bench, coach Igor Tudor finds himself in pressing need of his two main forwards stepping up, particularly with support from Nico Gonzalez in attack. Adding to potential concerns for Juventus, Tuttosport also notes a `Djalò problem` at Porto, raising questions about a possible early return from his loan spell.
The report also touches upon the other Turin club, Torino, featuring the headline: `Toro Needs Redemption. And Casadei Reunites with Ricci`. Torino is also scheduled to play today at 6:30 PM, hosting Udinese at home. While the match is important for their `usual` pursuit of a 10th-place finish in the league standings, the fans are most eager to see a spirited performance characteristic of the `granata` side.
For Torino, there`s also uncertainty surrounding the availability of Nikola Vlasic. Coach Paolo Vanoli is reportedly considering deploying a trio of Elmas, Gineitis, and Karamoh to play in a supporting role behind striker Adams if Vlasic is unavailable for the match.
