Ghana midfielder Kwadwo Asamoah will miss Juventus’ Europa League tie against Trabzonspor on Thursday.

Asamoah has been ruled out of the second leg fixture due to a minor muscular injury in his right thigh. Coach Antonio Conte have replaced him with Giorgio Chiellini.

The Old Lady are favourites to carry the day at the Hüseyin Avni Aker in Trabzon after a two-goal lead from the first leg at Juventus.

The Ghana international has been pivotal to the Old Lady this term and his absence comes as a major blow to Conte’s side.

Other players to miss the game are Simone Pepe and Mirko Vucinic.

Full Juventus squad: Buffon, Chiellini, Cacares, Ogbonna, Pogba, Marchisio, Tevez, Giovinco, Peluso, Llorente, Barzagli, Osvaldo, Bonucci, Padoin, Pirlo, Vidal, Lichsteiner, Storari, Isla, Rubinho
