Croatian striker Mario Mandzukic has been declared fit for Juventus' Serie A clash with AC Milan.

The forward was a doubt after picking up an ankle injury on international duty last week, but he partners Paulo Dybala up front after passing a fitness test.

Goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon and defender Stephan Lichsteiner also passed late assessments to take up their places in the starting XI.

At the back, Juve have rested Leonardo Bonucci in favour of veteran Giorgio Chiellini.

Milan's top scorer Carlos Bacca will lead the attack, but former Liverpool and Manchester City forward Mario Balotelli is out injured.

The absence of goalkeeper Diego Lopez paves the way for 16-year-old Gianluigi Donnarumma to continue between the sticks.

Juventus: Buffon; Lichtsteiner, Barzagli, Chiellini, Evra; Sturaro, Marchisio, Pogba, Hernanes; Mandzukic, Dybala
