Pape Matar Sarr

Analysis: Sarr trained only on the side a couple of times after the completion of his transfer from Tottenham and needs more time to recuperate. Douglas Luiz, Manuel Locatelli and Teun Koopmeiners will again be the lone alternatives in the midfield, as Weston McKennie (undisclosed) and Khephren Thuram (knee) are out.

Heads to Juventus on loan

Sarr has joined Juventus on loan for the 2026-27 season, with the deal including an obligation to make the move permanent next summer subject to performance-related conditions, the club announced.

Analysis: Sarr's exit comes after he fell down Tottenham's pecking order following the summer additions of Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes, and he was left out of the matchday squad against Newcastle as he weighed his options ahead of deadline day. The move ends a five-year spell in north London that began with his 2021 arrival from Metz; he made his debut in January 2023 and finishes with 141 appearances.
