Could Woltemade start the game against AC Milan?
Nick Woltemade has completed at least one training session with Juventus, meaning he is now available to feature for the Bianconeri in their match against AC Milan this weekend.
The German joined Juventus shortly before the transfer window closed and is one of the players expected to make a strong impression in Turin. He arrives with an opportunity to demonstrate his quality and show that he can succeed in a new environment.

Woltemade is on loan from Newcastle United and will want to make the most of this opportunity. The attacker has the chance to prove that he is a top player capable of performing outside England, while Juventus will hope he can quickly adapt to their demands.
Juve have invested a significant amount in bringing him to the club and expect him to produce his best form during the season. The Bianconeri also view him as a player who can complement Randal Kolo Muani because the two attackers offer different profiles.
Woltemade could make Juventus debut
There was significant pressure on Woltemade during his time at Newcastle, but his move to Turin gives him an opportunity to start again. He can now focus on proving his quality without being defined by his previous spell.

Calciomercato reports that Woltemade could be involved in Juventus' match against AC Milan. The report suggests that Juve are expected to begin the game with Kolo Muani leading the line, while Woltemade could enter the match during the second half.
That would give the German a chance to make his first appearance for the Bianconeri and begin showing what he can offer. Although the manager will ultimately decide the selection, Woltemade is now available and can be considered for the fixture.

Juventus have new attacking option
The opportunity to feature against Milan would give Woltemade an early chance to demonstrate why Juventus wanted him. Even if he begins the match on the bench, he could still play an important role if called upon.

For Juventus, having another attacking option provides greater flexibility. The Bianconeri will hope Woltemade can settle quickly and develop a strong partnership with Kolo Muani as the season progresses.
For now, the German can concentrate on training and preparing for his opportunity, with the possibility of making his Juventus debut against Milan.
