The Bianconeri make their season debut in the competition tonight, hosting Sampdoria at the Allianz Stadium at 20.00 UK time.
Allegri is suspended, so his assistant Marco Landucci will be on the bench tonight.
Federico Bernadeschi was expected to start, but Football Italia understands he suffered a slight muscle problem during this morning’s training session so he will be precautionarily rested ahead of Sunday’s Serie A showdown against Milan.
Allegri has called-up De Winter, Miretti, Aké and Soulé, promoting them from the U23 squad. De Winter and Soulé have already made their senior debut with the Old Lady this season.
Danilo returns to action, while Leonardo Bonucci, Federico Chiesa (both injured) and Aaron Ramsey (COVID) have been forced to the sidelines.
