TEAM NEWS: Barzagli replaces Cuadrado for Juventus against Monaco

Massimiliano Allegri has brought the Italian defender into his line-up for the Champions League semi-final first leg

Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri has added Andrea Barzagli to his line-up for the Champions League semi-final first leg against Monaco, with Juan Cuadrado reduced to a slot on the bench because of a muscle complaint.

Barzagli starts at right-back at the Stade Louis II, with Dani Alves pushed into a wide midfield role for the Serie A side.

Gonzalo Higuain leads the line for the Italians, with Alves, Paulo Dybala and Mario Mandzukic working behind the Argentina international.

For Monaco, meanwhile, veteran striker Radamel Falcao starts up front alongside teenage sensation Kylian Mbappe.
