Juventus predicted XI match against Lille: Khefren Thuram will start on return to France

Returning to France for the first time since leaving Nice in the summer transfer window, Khefren Thuram is expected to start for Juventus as they prepare to face Lille in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday.

Without any new injury concerns, Thiago Motta has plenty to choose from as they head to northern France. Thuram will start for Juventus, with former Aston Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz likely to have to make do with a place on the bench.

Against his former club, Timothy Weah will have to make do with a place on the bench, while another former Ligue 1 player, former Olympique Marseille striker Arkadiusz Milik, will miss the game entirely through injury.
