Edon Zhegrova has improved in recent weeks after failing to secure a move away from Juventus during the summer, and the Bianconeri now want to keep him at the club. His recent performances have strengthened his position in the squad and could earn him a starting place against Lazio.
Juventus may also regret leaving him out of their Europa League squad, given the form he has shown lately. The winger remains an important option for the team, and his performances suggest he could have made a contribution had he been included in the competition.
Zhegrova pushes for a starting role
Juventus believe Zhegrova can become one of their best players if he manages to maintain consistent form. The club are keen to give him more opportunities to impress, hoping he can build on his recent displays and establish himself as a regular contributor.
His improvement has come at an important time, with Juventus preparing for a difficult fixture against Lazio. The visitors have been unbeaten, making the match a significant challenge for the Bianconeri as they look to secure a positive result.
According to Tuttomercatoweb, Luciano Spalletti is currently considering starting Zhegrova against Lazio. That possibility would give the winger an opportunity to demonstrate his quality from the beginning of the match rather than making an impact from the bench.

Juventus consider Zhegrova for Lazio clash
Zhegrova could benefit from having rested during the midweek fixture, potentially allowing him to approach the Lazio game feeling fresh. His recent form has given Juventus reason to consider handing him a more prominent role in a match where attacking quality could prove important.
The Bianconeri will need their players to perform well if they are to overcome an unbeaten Lazio side. Zhegrova’s ability to influence the game could make him a useful option as Spalletti weighs up his starting line-up.
Juventus have shown faith in the winger’s potential, and the coming match could provide another chance for him to justify that confidence. If he continues to perform at his current level, he may strengthen his case for more regular involvement in the team.
