Juventus will reportedly start Mattia De Sciglio and Stefano Sturaro against Barcelona in the Champions League on Tuesday.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Juve will revert to a 4-2-3-1 formation at Camp Nou, despite beating Chievo 3-0 with a 4-3-3 over the weekend.

Consequently, De Sciglio should come in for the ineligible Stephan Lichtsteiner at right-back, while Sturaro is expected to be deployed in defensive midfield.

The newspaper notes these decisions will be taken to get the best out of Paulo Dybala, who is likely to play a free role behind Gonzalo Higuain.

Gianluca Di Marzio’s website adds Alex Sandro, Giorgio Chiellini and Mario Mandzukic all trained on Monday morning, but Benedikt Howedes worked alone.

Claudio Marchisio and Sami Khedira were not present as they remain sidelined with injuries.
