Juve missing several star players


Story Tools

DORTMUND, Germany -- Juventus will be without several first-teamers for Tuesday's Champions League Group D clash with Galatasaray in Dortmund.

The Italian champions have already qualified for the last 16, enabling coach Marcello Lippi to rest some key players.

Alessandro del Piero misses out with a thigh injury, while defenders Lilian Thuram and Nicola Legrottaglie and winger Gianluca Zambrotta have not travelled for the rearranged match.

Fabrizio Miccoli will partner Marco Di Vaio in attack for the fixture that was cancelled from last week following the terrorist attacks in Turkey.

Hasan Sas is expected to return to the Galatasaray line-up in place of Ergun Penbe, with Berkant Goktan moving into attack.

Midfielder Ayhan Akman is suspended after his red card against Olympiakos on November 4. Ovidiu Petre is likely to take his place in the side.
