Champions League: Club Brugge vs Juventus

Dusan Vlahovic is set to start on the Juventus bench again this evening as the Bianconeri meet Club Brugge in Matchday 7 of the Champions League.

Kick-off will be at 9:00 p.m. CET (8:00 p.m. GMT) at the Jan Breydel Stadium in Bruges.

Juventus coach Thiago Motta said on the eve of the match that he had benched Vlahovic against Milan for a “technical” reason, and the former Italy international is expected to make the same decision today.

Nico Gonzalez, in fact, is the favorite to start as a false nine in the Juventus attack, with Samuel Mbangula, Teun Koopmeiners and Timothy Weah behind him.

Manchester City target Andrea Cambiaso will once again start at left-back, joined by Nicolò Savona on the opposite side of the pitch.

Kenan Yildiz, Weston McKennie and Francisco Conceiçao are not in great shape, but they still made the trip to Belgium.

Multiple sources, including Sky and Gazzetta, claim Manuel Locatelli will likely start on the bench, making way for Douglas Luiz in central midfield.
