How Juventus could line up against Lokomotiv Moscow

Juventus will be looking to move onto 10 points in Group D when they travel to Russian giants Lokomotiv Moscow in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

The Italian champions currently lead the section with seven points to show from their three matches, having followed a draw at Atletico Madrid with wins over Bayer Leverkusen and Lokomotiv.

Paulo Dybala scored twice as the Old Lady overcame the Russian side on home soil last month, and head coach Maurizio Sarri will be eyeing another three points in Moscow.

Here, Sports Mole looks at how the Serie A leaders could line up on the night.

Out: Giorgio Chiellini (knee), Mattia Perin (shoulder)

Giorgio Chiellini and Mattia Perin remain long-term absentees for Juve with knee and shoulder injuries respectively, but Sarri otherwise has a strong squad to choose from.

Mattia De Sciglio made his return from a thigh injury against Torino at the weekend, while the likes of Aaron Ramsey, Danilo and Douglas Costa have all overcome recent issues.

Experienced striker Gonzalo Higuain is also back after recovering from a head injury, although Dybala is expected to keep his spot in the final third alongside Cristiano Ronaldo and Federico Bernardeschi.

Sami Khedira and Alex Sandro were both named on the bench against Torino but should return, while Miralem Pjanic and Blaise Matuidi are expected to keep their spots in the middle of the park.

Juan Cuadrado has developed into Juve's first-choice right-back and should continue in that position, with summer arrival Matthijs de Ligt also featuring fresh from his winner in the Turin derby.
