Andrea Cambiaso is fit again, and as Juventus takes on Cagliari this evening, he is expected to be back on the pitch from the start, according to Tuttojuve. He pushed to play before the last international window, but Juventus did not want to rush him and insisted he made a full recovery before he was considered for action.
During the break, he had the chance to prove his fitness as the club organised a friendly game against Cremonese, and he was used in midfield in an experiment that did not work. In the Cagliari game, he would go nowhere near the midfield, as Juventus expects him to be back at the left-back spot, with the report stating that he will take over that role for the game.
Cambiaso’s Return and Role at Left-Back
Juve has been linked with a move for several new left-backs, but with Cambiaso back, he has a chance to make that role his own on the team because Pierre Kalulu is a clear favourite to play in the right-back spot for a long time. Cambiaso is a very talented player who has been linked with a move to Chelsea and Arsenal, so if he plays at his best, he could become one of the most important players on the Juventus team this season.
His return adds depth and quality to the squad, and the club will hope he can hit the ground running. The left-back position has been a topic of discussion, but Cambiaso’s presence could settle the debate. His versatility and experience make him a valuable asset for the Bianconeri.

Competition and Future Prospects
The interest from Chelsea and Arsenal highlights his reputation, and Juventus will be keen to keep him fit and performing. A strong showing against Cagliari would reinforce his importance to the team, and the club will look to build around him.
Cambiaso’s journey back from injury is a positive sign for Juventus, and his availability gives the manager more options. The left-back role is his to claim, and consistent performances could make him indispensable. His development is one to watch as the season unfolds.
