Weston McKennie returns to the Juventus line-up for a Coppa Italia semifinal second leg against Lazio, while Ciro Immobile starts on the Lazio bench after recovering from an injury.

It kicks off at 20:00 UK time (GMT+1) at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. Juventus won the first leg 2-0 in Turin three weeks ago.

Lazio are without the injured Manuel Lazzari, Ivan Provedel and Mattia Zaccagni, but Immobile returns from an injury and starts on the bench.

Valentin Castellanos gets the nod up front for the Biancocelesti with Felipe Anderson and Luis Alberto behind the Argentinean. Danilo Cataldi is the favourite over Daichi Kamada in central midfield.

Juventus striker Moise Kean is injured, and Mattia De Sciglio has a fever, while Federico Gatti, Paul Pogba and Nicolò Fagioli are suspended.

USMNT star McKennie started on the bench against Cagliari on Friday but will return to Juventus XI alongside Filip Kostic. Alex Sandro is expected to replace the injured Gatti.
