The Bianconeri have been sputtering in both Serie A and Europe in recent weeks due to an injury crisis that continues to rule out Weston McKennie, Nico Gonzalez, Douglas Luiz, Arkadiusz Milik, Gleison Bremer and Juan Cabal.

There is at least some good news for coach Thiago Motta before the encounter with his former team, as Vlahovic, Nicolò Savona and Vasilije Adzic are returning to the squad.

Kenan Yildiz is rested ahead of the big Champions League clash against Manchester City on Wednesday.

This is where they need to focus as they risk slipping too far from the top of the table after drawing eight of their last 12 Serie A games.

Bologna won four of its last five Serie A games, only capitulating to Lazio when it was down to 10 players.

They also have a game in hand as the game against Milan was canceled due to flood warnings.

Tommaso Pobega returns from suspension but Orsolini is out for three weeks following the midweek 4-0 Coppa Italia win over Monza.

Michel Aebischer, Charalampos Lykogiannis, Oussama El Azzouzi and Nicolò Cambiaghi are also out of action.

Dan Ndoye and Jens Odgaard support Santiago Castro in advance with the fascinating 21-year-old Benjamin Dominguez.

Juventus: Perin; Danilo, Gatti, Kalulu, Cambiaso; Locatelli, Fagioli; Conceicao, Koopmeiners, Weah; Vlahovic

Bologna: Skorupski; Holm, Beukema, Lucumi, Miranda; Freuler, Pobega; Ndoye, Odgaard, Dominguez; Castro
