Thiago Motta has another enforced change to make as Juventus travel to Lecce with a squad propped up by a cast of Bianconeri youngsters in Serie A on Sunday afternoon.
The Bianconeri are without Next Gen graduate Nicolo Savona, who adds to an injury list that already includes leading goalscorer Dusan Vlahovic, plus Arkadiusz Milik, Nico Gonzalez, Douglas Luiz, Bremer and Juan Cabal.
Savona is expected to be replaced by club captain Danilo at right-back. The Skipper has also been linked with a January move to Napoli in recent days.

Elsewhere, Motta does not have too many available options to rotate his side, so Khephren Thuram and Manuel Locatelli look set to continue in central midfield.
There could, however, be a change at goalkeeper as well, as pre-match reports suggest that Mattia Perin will be given the nod over Michele Do Gregorio between the sticks.
Kick-off is due at 19.45 GMT.
Lecce (4-3-3): Falcone; Guilbert, Baschirotto, Gaspar, Gallo; Coulibaly, Ramadani, Rafia; Dorgu, Krstovic, Pierotti.
Juventus (4-2-3-1): Di Gregorio; Danilo, Gatti, Kalulu, Cambiaso; Locatelli, Thuram; Conceicao, Koopmeiners, Yildiz; Weah.
