  "account": "Luciano Spalletti has unveiled the initial squad of 26 players for Juventus's opening Serie A match against Torino on Sunday evening. The roster features several summer signings, including Randal Kolo Muani, Kerim Alajbegovic, Guglielmo Vicario, Jhon Lucumi, and Zeki Celik. The squad also includes Douglas Luiz, who has returned from a difficult 2025-26 campaign in the Premier League and is expected to start. Nico Gonzalez, who had a successful loan spell with Atletico Madrid, is also called up but is unlikely to feature in the match. Despite the influx of new signings, Spalletti is expected to field Vicario in goal and Kolo Muani in attack, with Alajbegovic, Lucumi, and Celik starting on the bench.",
