Juventus host Rennes: Kolo Muani and Woltemade in the starting XI

Juventus host Rennes at the Allianz Stadium in Turin in Matchday 3 of the Europa League league phase. The match kicks off at 18:45 CET.

The Bianconeri won their first two European matches of the season. The team lost 3-0 at home to Lazio in Serie A last Sunday and want to bounce back after that result. Head coach Luciano Spalletti announced on Wednesday that Randal Kolo Muani and Nick Woltemade will start together for the first time.

Spalletti's squad problems continue. Francisco Conceiçao, Kenan Yildiz, Manuel Locatelli, Khephren Thuram, Kamil Grabara and Jeff Ekhator are injured. Edon Zhegrova, Daniele Rugani and Arkadiusz Milik will not play because they are not on the UEFA list.

According to reports in the Italian press, Gleison Bremer, Federico Gatti and Lloyd Kelly will play in defense. On the right flank there is doubt between Pierre Kalulu and Zeki Celik. Andrea Cambiaso is expected to play on the left. In midfield, Douglas Luiz and Pape Matar Sarr are competing to play alongside Teun Koopmeiners.

Probable Juventus XI: Vicario; Gatti, Bremer, Kelly; Kalulu, Douglas Luiz, Koopmeiners, Celik; McKennie; Woltemade, Kolo Muani. Probable Rennes XI: Samba; Ait Boudlal, Cresswell, Rouault; Reynolds; Szymanski, Rongier, M. Camara, Nagida; Dia, Al Taamari.

The match can be watched on TNT Sports 5, HBO Max and NOW TV in the UK and Ireland, and on CBS Sports Network, Paramount+ and TUDN in the US.
