Betrayed by his body, Arkadiusz Milik has been deprived of competition since May 2024. But the former Marseillais perhaps finally sees the end of the tunnel with Juventus.
Some Turin supporters may have forgotten that he was still in their squad. And even under contract until June 2027. Former Napoli scoring machine, Arkadiusz Milik (31 years old) is today a strange mystery at Juventus. Because the Pole’s last match with the Old Lady dates back to… May 25, 2024. What’s next? Nothing more. No more sound or image, or almost.
A succession of injuries
But after months of struggle, the end of the tunnel may finally have arrived. As reported the Gazzetta dello Sport this Saturday, he made his comeback to training with the pro group this week and hopes to soon be available for Luciano Spalletti.
Which would not necessarily be bad news for Juve which has suffered offensively since the start of the season, and which must most often rely on the effectiveness of its jewel Kenan Yildiz to compensate for the shortcomings of its summer recruits, Jonathan David and Lois Openda.
But it will undoubtedly still take time for Milik to get back to his best level, having had a string of physical struggles for a year and a half. With a meniscus operation which caused him to miss Euro 2024 with Poland, major muscle problems and even a shin injury.
If the ex-Marseillais received the medical green light on December 11 to resume collective training, Juventus would not have too many illusions about his case, according to La Gazzetta. His last full season dates back to 2023-2024, when he scored 8 goals in 36 matches in all competitions.
