Elseid Hysaj (calf), Konstantinos Manolas (ankle) and Dries Mertens (ankle) are all on the sidelines due to their respective injury issues. In addition, Kalidou Koulibaly and Faouzi Ghoulam also miss out as they continue to self-isolate after contracting COVID-19.
Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1): Ospina; Di Lorenzo, Maksimovic, Rrahmani, Rui; Bakayoko, Elmas; Lozano, Zielinski, Insigne; Osimhen

In fact, on Saturday, the Juventus manager will have a near-full strength squad at his disposal, with Dybala and Arthur the only players who are unavailable.
Predicted Lineup (4-4-2): Wojciech Szczesny; Danilo, Leonardo Bonucci, Giorgio Chiellini, Juan Cuadrado; Aaron Ramsey, Rodrigo Bentancur, Adrien Rabiot, Federico Chiesa; Cristiano Ronaldo, Morata
