The report says Juventus began preparations on 13 July, meaning David faces an immediate catch-up period when he rejoins the group. The timing is not unusual for players whose international commitments extend into the summer, but it does reduce the amount of preparation available before competitive fixtures begin.
That could make the early weeks important for managing his workload. David will need to rebuild sharpness while adapting to the coaching staff’s tactical demands, particularly if Juventus want him involved quickly in their attacking plans.
David is preparing for his second campaign at Juventus after joining from Lille. That gives his return a different context from last summer: he already knows the club, his team-mates and the expectations attached to leading the line in Turin.
The report describes the examinations as routine, and David is expected to resume training once that process is complete. With no confirmed injury cited, the main issue appears to be preparation time rather than fitness uncertainty.
His experience with Canada may also provide Juventus with an attacking player returning from a high-level tournament environment. The challenge will be transferring that competitive rhythm into the club’s pre-season programme without rushing his reintegration.
Juventus will now be looking for David to close the gap on the rest of the squad before the first meaningful tests of the campaign. His next training sessions should reveal how quickly he can regain full sharpness - and whether his second season in Turin begins with a more established role.
