Juventus’ second-choice goalkeeper Mattia Perin will replace Michele Di Gregorio for a Champions League match against Galatasaray, while Weston McKennie will start as a left-back.
It kicks off at 21:00 CET (20:00 GMT) at the Allianz Stadium in Turin. It’s the second leg of the Champions League knockout play-off.

The Serie A giants lost the first leg 5-2 in Turkey, so they need a win by three goals to send the game to extra time.
Dusan Vlahovic and Arkadiusz Milik are injured, while Andrea Cambiaso and Juan Cabal are suspended, so McKennie will start as a left-back in a 4-3-3 system.
