That brought added problems, because Gianluca Mancini and Devyne Rensch both sustained injuries and are ruled out here, while Pierluigi Gollini has not recovered from a back problem that forced him to sit it out at Old Trafford. With Mile Svilar already out for over a month, it means third-choice goalkeeper Vasquez has to take the gloves for the second game in a row, the first in Serie A. Still on the treatment table are Paulo Dybala and Lorenzo Pellegrini, but Manu Koné returns and is thrown straight back into the starting XI for the first time since the thigh strain against Real Madrid on October 14.
