There is no Vlahovic for Juventus, nor will there be for several more months as a result ofhis recent adductor surgery. Federico Gatti is alsounavailable with a meniscus injury. Centre-backs Gleison Bremer and Daniele Rugani have recently returned to training, but are not expected to start against Pafos.
Jonathan David could come back into the starting line-up after being left out against Napoli, with Kenan Yildiz also in line to start. Pre-matchreports suggest that Zhegrova could be given his full Bianconeri debut on the right flank, instead of Francisco Conceicao or Lois Openda.
This could also be an opportunity for the recently re-emerged Fabio Miretti to start in Central midfield.
Kick-off is due at 20.00 GMT (21.00 CET).
