The Old Lady Speaks, Episode 253: Juve’s injuries pile up as big October stretch arrives

As we sit here in the middle of another international break, we wait for Juventus to get going again. But the worry is that when they return to action, the squad Thiago Motta will have at his disposal is going to be far from full strength. On Episode 253 of The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, we discuss: The injuries are starting to pile up for Thiago Motta and Juventus, with Teun Koopmeiners’ cracked rib now the most recent worry ahead of the return from the international break. The most notable of all the recent injuries involves the likely season-ending torn ACL for Gleison Bremer. Could an old foe who used to wear an Inter jersey suddenly become an option for Juventus in January? Juventus’ first three games out of the international break — against Lazio, Stuttgart and Inter at the San Siro — are all pretty big ones. We take a look at what’s to come. Twitter questions — including what is going on with Juventus and the lack of a (paid) shirt sponsor after the relationship with Jeep was ended at the end of last season.
