Pre-match preview

Juventus

Weston McKennie is nearing a return from a muscle strain and will be assessed before Thursday's match after missing the game against Sassuolo. Manuel Locatelli remains out with a knee injury, with Douglas Luiz expected to continue in midfield alongside Teun Koopmeiners. Koopmeiners made his first recent start against Sassuolo and has a goal and an assist across Juventus' last four matches.

At the back, Lloyd Kelly is suspended after his red card and Andrea Cambiaso remains sidelined with an ankle injury. Jhon Lucumí Bonilla is therefore expected to continue at left centre-back after starting three of the last four matches.

NEC

Nikolas Polster is in line to start in goal at Juventus after Gonzalo Crettaz was sent off against Bodø/Glimt and now serves a suspension. Crettaz has held the gloves for most of NEC's recent matches and was the better-performing of the two stoppers, while Polster's only start in that spell, against Cambuur, went poorly. It leaves an enforced change in goal rather than a selection call.

At the back, Deveron Fonville is missing with an ankle injury after starting only twice in the last five games, which leaves Almugera Kabar as the option at left-back. Right-back has been shared this season too - Tobias Storm has had most of the starts there, but when Gabriel Brás deputised he was rated the better performer. Storm is nonetheless pencilled in to continue there against Juventus.
