Romelu Lukaku is unlikely to be fit in time to face Juventus, as the Manchester United striker pulled out of the squad against Bournemouth.
The centre-forward isn’t even on the bench for today’s early Premier League kick-off.
“In training yesterday, after the press conference, he felt something that needs to be studied in the next couple of days,” manager Jose Mourinho told BT Sport.
“So Lukaku has not come and we decided to start with Alexis Sanchez.”
