The Bianconeri are coming off Saturday’s chaotic and thrilling 4-3 victory over Inter, which saw them maintain their 100 per cent record in the opening three Serie A rounds.

“Everyone is in good shape, we are eager to play in the Champions League, but we also played only two days ago, so have to take that into consideration,” Tudor told Sky Sport Italia.

There are quite a few changes to the starting XI after the Derby d’Italia, including Andrea Cambiaso’s return from a two-match ban, Weston McKennie and Teun Koopmeiners in midfield.

It is a very attack-minded side with Kenan Yildiz and Jonathan David supporting Lois Openda on his first start.

“I made these choices for this game. Most results are decided in the final 20 minutes, so who starts is almost irrelevant, many times those who finish the game are more important. That’s what we saw on Saturday too.”

Lois Openda arrives for his Juventus medical.

It remains to be seen if Cambiaso or Weston McKennie will be on the right flank, while Tudor kept tight-lipped when asked if Openda was leading a trident, a 4-3-1-2 or 4-3-2-1.

“We’ll see how the game goes. This is not the moment to talk about tactics.”

Edon Zhegrova is on the bench for the first time after a long lay-off and his deadline day move to Juventus, but Tudor hints he could make his debut.

“He has to keep working, it’s right that he is part of the group, and if we need him, he is able to play a few minutes.”
