Weston McKennie and Timothy Weah have been examined everywhere in the area this season, and this time round, they’re set to play as wingbacks, though it stays unclear which flank will every of them occupy.

On the again, Pierre Kalulu and Renato Veiga shall be making their first appearances as starters since making their return from their respective accidents. The Frenchman and the Portuguese will thus flank Lloyd Kelly who will function on the very coronary heart of the three-man backline, whereas Federico Gatti will get some well-deserved relaxation.

Lastly, Michele Di Gregorio preserved his spot between the sticks, retaining Mattia Perin on the bench.

Juventus XI (3-5-2): Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Kelly, Veiga; Weah, Koopmeiners, Locatelli, Thuram, McKennie; Gonzalez, Kolo Muani
