Francisco Conceiçao returns for Juventus’ Champions League game against VfB Stuttgart, while Nicolò Fagioli is expected to start in the middle of the park.

It kicks off at 21:00 CET (19:00 GMT) at the Allianz Stadium in Turin. Football Italia will be among the accredited media.

Mattia Perin joined Thiago Motta for a pre-match press conference on Monday, and the Italian keeper will start between the sticks this evening, replacing the suspended Michele Di Gregorio.

Gleison Bremer, Teun Koopmeiners, Arkadiusz Milik and Nico Gonzalez are injured.

Conceiçao served a one-match ban in Serie A last weekend but will return to the starting XI in the Champions League, playing as a right winger.

Weston McKennie is also fit to play after returning from injury but trained with shoulder support on Monday.

Kenan Yildiz is favourite over Samuel Mbangula for the left-wing role, while Danilo is expected to get the nod in central defence, joining Pierre Kalulu.
