Juventus will reportedly start with a back four in tomorrow’s Champions League match with Borussia Dortmund.
There had been speculation that Andrea Barzagli’s return to action would see Coach Massimiliano Allegri opt for a 3-5-2 at Westfalenstadion, as the Bianconeri aim for the Quarter Finals.
However, Sky reports that after today’s training session at Vinovo, Allegri has decided to stick with his 4-3-1-2 shape, with Barzagli starting on the bench.

Giorgio Chiellini and Leonardo Bonucci are likely to partner each other in defence, with Patrice Evra and Stephan Lichtsteiner on either side.
At the other end of the pitch, Fernando Llorente is expected to be left out in favour of Alvaro Morata, with the latter supported by Carlos Tevez.
Andrea Pirlo has lost his battle to be fit for the match, so Roberto Pereyra will join Arturo Vidal, Claudio Marchisio and Paul Pogba in midfield.
Probable Juventus line-up to face Borussia Dortmund: Buffon; Lichtsteiner, Bonucci, Chiellini, Evra; Pereyra, Marchisio, Pogba; Vidal; Tevez, Morata
