AZ

Wouter Goes's recovery from a foot injury suffered a setback against Ajax, with the defender substituted at half-time after the problem began bothering him again; he is not expected to start against Juventus. Lewis Schouten and Wesley Hoedt are expected to form the central defensive pairing instead.

Mexx Meerdink, who has scored three goals in as many starts during this run, is not expected to start. Ayoub Oufkir is set to return in the final third after missing the Ajax match, having been substituted in each of his three recent starts, including once at half-time. Weslley Patati, who has two goals and an assist in that period, is also expected to keep his place.

Juventus

Weston McKennie is highly doubtful for Juventus's trip to AZ after suffering muscle fatigue, having made five consecutive starts before this match. Zeki Çelik remains out with a separate muscle injury.

Federico Gatti, Pape Matar Sarr and Andrea Cambiaso are all expected to return to the side after not starting against Napoli. Gatti is likely to join Bremer and Lloyd Kelly in central defence, while Cambiaso should start on the left. Juan Cabal, who made his first start of this run against Napoli, remains available after suffering cramp in that match.
