Khephren Thuram is still not back in full training with Juventus, so Teun Koopmeiners looks likely to start against Torino, with Federico Gatti in defence.

The final match of the Serie A season kicks off at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino on Sunday at 19.45 UK time (20.45 CEST).

Juve know that even a victory in the Derby della Mole might not be enough to secure Champions League football, as they slipped into fifth place following the 2-0 home defeat to Fiorentina.

If both Roma and Milan win on the same evening, then the Bianconeri are doomed to the Europa League.

Thuram has been struggling with fitness issues recently and managed only 21 minutes of football in the last two matches.

He was training separately from the rest of the squad again today, suggesting he will not be ready to go into the starting XI this weekend.

The most likely candidate to replace him is again Koopmeiners, who has had a difficult season.

Gleison Bremer is suspended in defence, giving Gatti a rare opportunity to shine in what may well be his final game in the Juventus shirt.

Arek Milik and Juan Cabal are long-term injury absentees for Luciano Spalletti.
