In the summer of 2021, Juventus fans rejoiced when their club managed to wrest the services of outstanding Brazilian prospect Kaio Jorge.
The young striker was at the time one of the most exciting rising stars in South America, with a host of European clubs vying for his signature.
Unfortunately, his first campaign in Turin did not go as planned. The 20-year-old was part of Max Allegri’s first team but saw little playing time.
In February, he suffered a serious injury while playing for the club’s under-23 team and has been out of action ever since.
But according to Sky Sport via TuttoJuve24, Kaio’s return to the pitch is drawing ever closer and Juventus have laid out plans for his phased return.
The source assures that the club will take advantage of the extended winter break to allow the player to recover his optimal physical condition while training with Massimo Brambilla’s Next Gen team.

It is becoming increasingly obvious that Kaio will have a long way to go before earning a regular spot on Allegri’s team, becoming a forgotten figure in Turin.
With other youngsters appearing on the scene and beginning to gain the manager’s trust, the Brazilian will initially have to prove himself with the Next Gen or perhaps on loan at another club.
