Champions League line-ups: Club Brugge vs. Juventus | OneFootball

Juventus rely on Nico Gonzalez, Teun Koopmeiners and Douglas Luiz to get their Champions League campaign going away to Club Brugge.

It kicks off at the Jan Breydelstadion in Bruges at 20.00 GMT.

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from this game, Atalanta-Sturm Graz and Bologna-Borussia Dortmund on the Liveblog.

The Bianconeri are fresh off a morale-boosting 2-0 victory over Milan in Serie A on Saturday, achieved despite an on-going injury crisis that continues to rule out Arek Milik, Gleison Bremer and Juan Cabal.

Dusan Vlahovic, Kenan Yildiz, Francisco Conceicao and Weston McKennie are only fit for a spot on the bench, so Nico Gonzalez is again the unorthodox centre-forward with support from Koopmeiners and Samuel Mbangula.

Tim Weah and Douglas Luiz step into the starting XI with Manchester City transfer target Andrea Cambiaso.

Club Brugge have amassed 10 points in the Champions League so far this season, only one fewer than Juventus, so this is a big showdown for position.

They lost 3-1 away to Milan when down to 10 men, but have beaten Aston Villa and Sporting CP.

Defender Zaid Romero misses out following dental surgery, but Christos Tzolis is their top scorer with 12 goals this season, while former Bologna winger Andreas Skov Olsen has been sold in January.
