According to "La Gazzetta dello Sport", Milik is out of Juventus' Europa League squad and can only play in the Coppa Italia; Zeqirova can play in the league, but may still be sold.

The same Juventus, two fringe players, two different fates. Milik can only play in the Coppa Italia, and his situation may not change until January next year. Zeqirova has been given a chance to prove that Juventus' €20 million plus €5 million bonus for him was not a mistake. Both were excluded from the Europa League squad, but the situation is not the same for the league squad.

Polish striker

Milik has been sidelined for long periods in the past two seasons due to a series of injury problems, and it was thought he was close to regaining his form, even scoring in a pre-season friendly this summer. However, Juventus coach Spalletti still excluded him from the league squad, despite Milik's contract having one year left.

The reason is likely to be the abundance of strikers, and the arrival of Walter Made will further reduce Milik's playing opportunities. As a result, Milik can only play in the Coppa Italia. Of course, he still has a chance to return to the squad. From now until January next year, every club has two opportunities to amend its squad. Therefore, Milik may be added to the squad after a teammate suffers a serious injury.

The situation of Kosovo winger

Zeqirova is different; he has no physical problems and can therefore play in the league. However, Zeqirova has been on the transfer list all summer because he is not in the team's technical plans. In fact, he could still be sold now, perhaps to Saudi Arabia or the UAE. The Saudi market closes today, while the UAE market closes on September 28.

However, Juventus will not sell Zeqirova cheaply. Given the club's investment in him last year, and his contract with the team lasting until 2030, a parting of ways will not be easy. This also explains why Spalletti did not remove Zeqirova from the league squad.
