Juventus team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Parma

Juventus launch the 2019-20 Serie A campaign with a Saturday evening trip to Parma, who finished three points above the relegation zone last season.

Champions by 11 points last term, Juve are likely to hand a debut to Matthijs de Ligt, their most high-profile signing of the summer at a price of £67.5m.

The 19-year-old centre-back was key to Ajax's run to the Champions League semi-finals and will be expected to strengthen his new club's attempts to mirror their domestic dominance in European competition following their shock exit at the hands of the Dutch side in last season's quarter-finals.

De Ligt's fellow arrivals, such as Danilo, signed from Manchester City for £34.2m, could also figure, although they will be without coach Maurizio Sarri for his first match following his switch from Chelsea.

The club announced this week that the Europa League-winning coach has been suffering with pneumonia.
