Spalletti agrees that Kolo Muani and Woltemade can play together

Luciano Spalletti has addressed the topic of whether Randal Kolo Muani and Nick Woltemade can play together for Juventus. Both forwards joined the team this season and managed to score in the recent victory against NEC. However, their performances may not have been enough to solidify their roles at the club. The bigger question for the Old Lady is whether they can maintain their impressive goal-scoring form and bring it to Serie A matches.

Spalletti spoke about the attacking options for his team, mentioning that Kolo Muani has been the starting striker throughout the campaign. However, he has struggled to find the back of the net consistently. Woltemade's situation is similar, as he has not been able to score much either, although he did start in the NEC game for the first time. With both players expected to add more goals to the team's attack, there has been speculation about whether they can form a productive partnership.

Spalletti confirmed that Woltemade still needs to improve his fitness before his role can be fully evaluated. In an interview with Calciomercato, he said, "He (Woltemade) wasn't very fit when he arrived, now he needs to get back into shape. We need to get him playing to see if he can stay up front or roam around the attacking zone.

He and Kolo Muani can play together, but up front I need a substantial change during the game." This implies that Juventus might consider using both attackers together, but they will prioritize Woltemade's recovery and adaptation to his role before making that decision.

The upcoming match against Atalanta in Serie A will serve as a significant test of Juventus' attacking options. If they can maintain their current level of goal-scoring, it would be a strong indication that Kolo Muani and Nick Woltemade can contribute effectively when playing together.
