Douglas Luiz joined Juventus from Aston Villa in a €50m deal in the 2024 summer transfer window but has only made three appearances as a substitute so far.

However, he spent the international break in Turin as he was not part of the Brazil national team for September matches, and according to reports, Thiago Motta considers him ready to get a starting spot against the Tuscans.

Juventus earned seven points in the opening three Serie A games before the break. After the Empoli match, they’ll make their 2024-25 Champions League debut against PSV at the Allianz Stadium on Tuesday, September 17.
