Lois Openda is expected to start in attack for Juventus in an away Champions League match against Monaco.
It kicks off at 21:00 CET (20:00 GMT) at the Stade Louis II in Monaco.
The Bianconeri are without the injured Dusan Vlahovic, Daniele Rugani, and Arkadiusz Milik and aim for a straight qualification for the Round of 16, which can be achieved with a win and favourable results in other games, all of which are played simultaneously tonight.

Multiple sources, including Sky Sport, Tuttosport and Gazzetta, claim that Openda will start as a sole striker, pushing Jonathan David to the bench.
Kenan Yildiz and Weston McKennie are confirmed in the Bianconeri’ XI, while Fabio Miretti returns to the line-up replacing Francisco Conceiçao.
Andrea Cambiaso is expected to start on the bench, making room for Juan Cabal as a left-back. Manuel Locatelli will also rest as Spalletti will likely pick Teun Koopmeiners and Khephren Thuram in the middle of the park.
The match will be broadcast live on Discovery+ in the UK and Ireland, and on Paramount+ in the USA. Football Italia will provide live updates via a liveblog.
