Martin Caceres had filled in for Chiellini, but is also injured, so Antonio Conte could pick either Luca Marrone or Lucio in the three-man defence.
Arturo Vidal is expected to rest in order to give Paul Pogba a rare start in midfield with Emanuele Giaccherini tipped to replace Kwadwo Asamoah.
Mirko Vucinic and Sebastian Giovinco are the current favourites to lead the attack.
Kick-off at the Juventus Stadium is at 19.45 GMT.
