Juventus is relying on Nico Gonzalez, Teun Koopmeiners and Douglas Luiz to start their Champions League campaign at Club Brugge.

Kick-off takes place at 20:00 GMT at the Jan Breydelstadion in Bruges.

You can follow the entire build-up and action of these games Atalanta-Sturm Graz and Bologna-Borussia Dortmund in the live blog.

The Bianconeri secured a morale-boosting 2-0 win over Milan in Serie A on Saturday, which came despite an ongoing injury crisis that continues to rule out Arek Milik, Gleison Bremer and Juan Cabal.

Dusan Vlahovic, Kenan Yildiz, Francisco Conceicao and Weston McKennie are only fit for one place on the bench, so Nico Gonzalez is once again the unorthodox center forward with support from Koopmeiners and Samuel Mbangula.

Tim Weah and Douglas Luiz move into the starting lineup alongside Manchester City transfer target Andrea Cambiaso.

Club Brugge have picked up 10 points in the Champions League so far this season, just one less than Juventus, so it’s a big showdown for position.

They lost 3-1 away to Milan when they were down to ten men, but beat Aston Villa and Sporting CP.

Defender Zaid Romero is out after dental surgery but Christos Tzolis is their top scorer with 12 goals this season, while former Bologna winger Andreas Skov Olsen was sold in January.
