Juventus lost to VfB Stuttgart in the Champions League, with Douglas Luiz pulling up in the warm-up and joining the absentee list with Teun Koopmeiners, Arek Milik, Nico Gonzalez and Gleison Bremer.
The good news for Thiago Motta is the return of Francisco Conceicao from suspension and Weston McKennie after a muscular issue, while Michele Di Gregorio was banned in Europe.

However, Tim Weah and Nicolo’ Fagioli are chosen, sending Kenan Yildiz to the sidelines.
