Juventus have announced their list of available players for Saturday’s Serie A evening game against Parma, which kicks off at 20:45 local time [19:45 BST].

Sky Sport Italia reported on Friday that Lazio had approached Zhegrova, but according to Il Bianconero , he is not available due to muscle fatigue.
McKennie is also dealing with muscle problems, while Yildiz will remain out of action for over two months after undergoing surgery for a foot fracture. The same might be true for Thuram, who will have a specialist consultation next week due to knee problems.
On the other hand, Italy international Ekhator returns to action for Juventus, who beat Frosinone away in the opening Serie A game of the season last week.

What happened
Juventus have released their official squad list ahead of their Serie A fixture against Parma, confirming that four players will miss the match. The absence of multiple squad members could affect Thiago Motta's selection options as Juventus look to maintain their form. The specific players ruled out were not named in the headline, but the official squad list publication signals the club's readiness for the fixture.
Chance analysis
Juventus head into their Parma clash with a thinner squad than ideal, as four players have been officially ruled out ahead of the matchday. The release of the squad list is a routine but telling procedural step that gives a clear picture of who is available to Thiago Motta. For a Juventus side balancing domestic and European ambitions, managing depth during injury spells is a recurring test, and fans will be watching to see how the absences are distributed across the pitch.
Juventus face Parma without four players, potentially weakening squad depth and forcing tactical adjustments by Motta.
