Juventus and Galatasaray face off on Tuesday night at Rams Park in Istanbul for the first leg of their UEFA Champions League knockout play-off tie.
Luciano Spalletti’s team is struggling, with only one win in their last five matches across all competitions, marking a tough time for the Bianconeri.
In their most recent game, they suffered a 3-2 defeat against Inter Milan at San Siro, with Piotr Zielinski scoring a last-minute goal that sealed their loss.
Juventus team news
Juventus will be without several key players due to injuries. Striker Jonathan David is out after suffering a groin injury during the Inter match, which is a major setback since he has been the preferred forward in place of Dusan Vlahovic, who has been sidelined with a tendon injury since late November and is not expected to return until late February.
Arkadiusz Milik is also unavailable due to fitness issues, and his return is estimated for late February as well.
Defender Emil Holm is out due to a calf injury sustained in the Derby d’Italia, and he is expected to miss action until early March.
On a positive note, midfielder Khephren Thuram has rejoined the squad after missing the Inter game with a minor injury, adding depth to the midfield options for Spalletti.
Juventus predicted lineup
Possible Juventus starting XI:Â Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Bremer, Kelly, Cambiaso; Locatelli, Koopmeiners; Conceicao, McKennie, Yildiz; David.
