&lt;p&gt;Several key figures prepare to return to their respective teams for the Serie A Enilive 2025/26 campaign, after long injury layoffs or loan spells. Whether returning from serious setbacks, struggling with form, or looking to revive their careers, these players may seem like new signings in everything but name.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bremer and Cabal: Juventus defenders return&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Juventus prepare to welcome back two key defenders. &lt;strong&gt;Gleison Bremer&lt;/strong&gt;, Serie A’s best defender in 2021/22 with Torino, continued to perform at &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.legaseriea.it/en/media/serie-a/serie-a-s-best-defenders-70ofokk&#34;&gt;MVP levels&lt;/a&gt; during his first two seasons in the Juventus jersey. Last season, however, he only had the chance to make six appearances before suffering an ACL tear, leaving a major gap in the club’s defence. With Bremer on the pitch, Juventus didn’t concede a single goal, shipping seven in the four matches following his injury. They eventually finished the season with 35 goals conceded, on par with Roma and Inter. Head coach &lt;strong&gt;Igor Tudor&lt;/strong&gt; is keen for his defensive leader to make a comeback and demonstrate his signature dominance in duels and aerial play.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Juan Cabal &lt;/strong&gt;is also looking to return. The Colombian full-back, formerly of Verona, showed promise in his first seven appearances, playing a key role in the win over Lazio with the run that resulted in Gila’s own goal. But his season was also cut short by a serious knee injury. Now, the 24-year-old is ready to pick up where he left off.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Two heavyweights back for Torino&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Two crucial names are set to come back to Torino: Duván Zapata and Perr Schuurs. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;8a922944-5614-49a1-b63f-01de7291fe42&#34; data-image-id=&#34;8a922944-5614-49a1-b63f-01de7291fe42&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/f4b55a29-8b37-4d9d-9740-ec5eb6f2be2d/Sito_HERO_duvan.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;8a922944-5614-49a1-b63f-01de7291fe42&#34; data-image-id=&#34;8a922944-5614-49a1-b63f-01de7291fe42&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;Torino’s season was derailed by &lt;strong&gt;Duván Zapata&lt;/strong&gt;’s injury. The Colombian striker had scored &lt;strong&gt;four goals in nine games&lt;/strong&gt; before suffering a cruciate ligament rupture. He proved to be a technical and charismatic leader, having earned the &lt;strong&gt;captain&lt;/strong&gt;’s armband after a 12-goal debut season with the Granata. A veteran with 124 Serie A goals to his name, Zapata’s comeback could reshape Torino’s trajectory.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Perr Schuurs&lt;/strong&gt; is also keen to get back on the pitch, having been sidelined for almost two years after a severe knee injury in October 2023. Signed in the summer of 2022 to replace Bremer, the Dutch centre-back impressed during his debut season and is now close to completing his long rehabilitation. New coach &lt;strong&gt;Marco Baroni&lt;/strong&gt; is counting on the return of a defender, who was once considered one of the league’s most promising.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Milan: Saelemaekers sets out to impress Allegri&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;48d46fa3-7f6d-4f56-a14f-f4bc6b8b9906&#34; data-image-id=&#34;48d46fa3-7f6d-4f56-a14f-f4bc6b8b9906&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/965d2f1b-434f-4654-a2d8-de694cbf64f1/Sito_HERO_alexis.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;48d46fa3-7f6d-4f56-a14f-f4bc6b8b9906&#34; data-image-id=&#34;48d46fa3-7f6d-4f56-a14f-f4bc6b8b9906&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Alexis Saelemaekers&lt;/strong&gt; is making his comeback not from injury, but from two successful loan spells that have solidified his value. Following his strong stints at &lt;strong&gt;Bologna&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Roma&lt;/strong&gt;, the Belgian winger is back at Milan and keen to prove himself under &lt;strong&gt;Massimiliano Allegri&lt;/strong&gt;. His versatility, technique, and ability to play in several attacking roles make him a valuable asset for Milan’s attack. With &lt;strong&gt;eleven goals and eight assists&lt;/strong&gt; over the past two seasons, Saelemaekers is ready to claim a central role at San Siro.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dybala: Gasperini looks to relaunch ‘La Joya’s’ career&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;59b11510-513f-4dbc-b180-ed41e7d2c5c3&#34; data-image-id=&#34;59b11510-513f-4dbc-b180-ed41e7d2c5c3&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/08bb420c-e58e-434e-8326-9e7d30fbb351/Sito_HERO_dybala.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;59b11510-513f-4dbc-b180-ed41e7d2c5c3&#34; data-image-id=&#34;59b11510-513f-4dbc-b180-ed41e7d2c5c3&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;At 31, &lt;strong&gt;Paulo Dybala&lt;/strong&gt; is aiming to start the season at full strength and prove he can still be decisive. After two back-to-back campaigns with 12 and 13 goals, he finished last season with just six goals in the league. With &lt;strong&gt;Gian Piero Gasperini&lt;/strong&gt;, known for unlocking the potential of creative attacking midfielders like Iličić, now in charge, La &lt;strong&gt;Joya&lt;/strong&gt; has an unmissable opportunity to relaunch his career and win over Roma fans once again.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Como: Sergi Roberto returns to lead the squad&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.legaseriea.it/en/media/serie-a/a-barcelona-standard-bearer-for-como-71ee15g&#34;&gt;A key player strongly backed by Fàbregas&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Sergi Roberto&lt;/strong&gt; struggled through a difficult season marred by recurring health issues. The former Barcelona player made just 13 appearances, only seven of them as a starter. His return to full fitness could prove crucial for Como, a side looking for leadership and balance in a young and ambitious team that’s seen major transformations in the transfer market&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Malinovskyi: Genoa’s secret weapon&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ruslan Malinovskyi is also looking to the new season with hope. The Ukrainian playmaker missed the majority of last season due to a fractured foot, limiting him to just nine appearances. A standout moment came in the match against Lecce, where he registered two decisive assists, one of the few stand-out moments in an otherwise frustrating campaign. &lt;strong&gt;Patrick Viera&lt;/strong&gt; still believes in the former Atalanta player, a versatile midfielder capable of playing deeper when needed and always a threat from set-pieces or &lt;strong&gt;outside the box&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Photo Website AS Roma + Website AC Milan + LaPresse)&lt;/p&gt;

With injuries behind them and loan spells over, the most anticipated returns of the upcoming campaign.
