Team News: Alvaro Morata, Stephan Litchsteiner recalled by Juventus for AS Monaco clash

Alvaro Morata and Stephan Lichtsteiner have been recalled by Juventus for their Champions League quarter-final second leg with AS Monaco this evening.

Both were rested for Sunday's 2-0 Serie A victory over Lazio, but return to an otherwise unchanged lineup at the expense of Alessandro Matri and Simone Padoin.

Andrea Barzagli keeps his place as Massimiliano Allegri retains a back-three formation. Arturo Vidal, whose penalty in last week's first leg gives Juve a 1-0 advantage heading to Stade Louis II, starts in midfield.

Monaco boss Leonardo Jardim prefers pacey youngster Anthony Martial to the experienced Dimitar Berbatov up front.

Aymen Abdennour and Layvin Kurzawa are also brought into the side which drew 1-1 with Rennes at the weekend, while Geoffrey Kondogbia passes a late fitness test to replace Alain Traore in a midfield which is missing captain Jeremy Toulalan.
