Juventus have left out Giorgio Chiellini and Mario Mandzukic from their squad to face Barcelona in the Champions League on Tuesday.
It had been reported that Chiellini and Mandzukic trained on Monday morning, but Juve’s official website confirmed the defender “was still undergoing recovery work” from a calf injury.
The striker, on the other hand, limped off against Chievo, having aggravated the bruising he sustained during the international break.
