Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri has confirmed Paulo Dybala will make his return from injury in Wednesday's Champions League clash with Dinamo Zagreb.
Forward Dybala has not appeared for his club since the 1-0 defeat away to AC Milan on October 22 due to a thigh injury.
"Paulo Dybala will definitely feature for either all or at least some of the second half against Dinamo," Allegri told the media.
"He's been training very well, but isn't quite in the ideal condition yet to play a full 90 minutes, so we need to ease him back into action gradually.
"That means Mario Mandzukic and Gonzalo Higuain will be partnering one another in attack again."
Allegri also revealed Alex Sandro and Sami Khedira will be rested for the Dinamo game ahead of Sunday's derby against city rivals Torino.
"Regardless of who finishes where in the other groups, our primary goal is to make sure that we win well tomorrow and qualify for the last 16 in first place," the midfielder said.
"Once we've done that, we can start thinking about who we might meet next.
"On paper, the most straightforward fixture of our run to the final two years ago was against Monaco, yet the opposite was the case on the field.
"Once you reach the latter stages of this competition you have to expect that the teams you face will be of the highest quality; what matters is not the identity of your opponents but rather your own form and condition."
