Juventus will look to Jonathan David and Lois Openda in tonight’s Coppa Italia Round of 16 tie against Udinese.

It kicks off at 21:00 CET (20:00 GMT) at the Allianz Stadium in Turin.

Dusan Vlahovic has suffered a serious muscle injury, which will likely force him to undergo surgery and remain out of action for at least three months.

In the first game without the Serbian, Luciano Spalletti will pick Openda and David in attack, and according to Sky Sport Italia, Vasilije Adzic will start as an attacking midfielder.

According to Gazzetta, Francisco Conceiçao, rather than Adzic, will support Openda and David up front.

Federico Gatti, Lloyd Kelly and Juan Cabal are expected to start in a three-man defence, while Teun Koopmeiners will likely get the nod in central midfield alongside Fabio Miretti.

Khephren Thuram and Kenan Yildiz are expected to start on the bench, resting ahead of next weekend’s Serie A match against Napoli.

Udinese have travelled to Turin without Thomas Kristensen and Hassane Kamara. The visitors are also expected to rotate massively, leaving Keinan Davis and Nicolò Zaniolo on the bench.
