The Bianconeri are in Group G with Barcelona, Ferencvaros and Dynamo Kiev.
Andrea Pirlo has had some mixed results so far in his management career, winning 3-0 against Sampdoria, but drawing the next two with Roma and Crotone.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Weston McKennie are still out of action after contracting COVID-19, with Alex Sandro and Matthijs de Ligt injured.
Ramsey returns from a muscular issue and is in the starting XI, taking the trequartista role behind Morata and Kulusevski.
Federico Chiesa, who on his debut against Crotone provided an assist and was sent off, starts on the right flank of a five-man midfield.
Dybala was ‘upset’ at being left on the bench for the entire 90 minutes on Saturday and had hoped to make his comeback here, but La Joya is again forced to watch from the touchline.
It’s understandable that Pirlo is not eager to risk him, considering Dybala has barely played since the end of July.
Dynamo Kiev coach Mircea Lucescu is an old friend to Italian football and indeed the man who gave teenage Pirlo his debut for Brescia.
Vladyslav Supryaha could’ve been in Serie A, as he was a named transfer target for Bologna, but opted to remain in Kiev.
The only real injury absentee for the hosts is defender Oleksandr Tymchyk.
