Nick Woltemade is set to lead the line for Juventus, with Federico Gatti and Lloyd Kelly recalled, as the Bianconeri visit Celta Vigo in the Europa League.
It kicks off at 21:00 CET [20:00 BST] at the Estadio Abanca-Balaídos in Vigo.
Juventus began their campaign with a 5-0 thrashing of NEC Nijmegen , but arrive in Spain after a 1-1 draw at Cagliari on Sunday that ended with Luciano Spalletti and Fabio Pisacane both sent off. Claudio Giráldez’s Celta lost their opener 1-0 to Omonia Nicosia and were held 0-0 by Elche in La Liga at the weekend.

Spalletti is without captain Manuel Locatelli, who is sidelined until late March with a meniscus problem, as well as Kenan Yildiz, Khéphren Thuram, Jeremie Boga, Ekhator and goalkeeper Kamil Grabara. Boga has returned to partial training but was not called up. Zeki Celik is also struggling with back pain, according to Gazzetta.
The coach confirmed some changes in his pre-match press conference. “Gatti deserves to play, and a player like Nick will be used tomorrow,” he said.
According to Sky , that means a 3-4-2-1 with Gatti between Pierre Kalulu and Kelly, while Nico González is ahead of Weston McKennie on the right flank. Francisco Conceição and Kerim Alajbegovic will support Woltemade, with Randal Kolo Muani starting on the bench. Douglas Luiz is rested after a poor showing at Cagliari, giving Teun Koopmeiners a chance alongside Pape Sarr.
