In an exciting development for fans, Juventus coach Igor Tudor has named Edon Zhegrova and Francisco Conceição in the squad for tonight’s pivotal Champions League clash against Borussia Dortmund.

Both wingers are set to make their mark as the Old Lady takes on the German giants in what promises to be an electrifying opener for the prestigious tournament.

The announcement was made official through a post on social media, confirming that both players will be available for selection despite some recent uncertainties.

Conceição’s inclusion is particularly surprising; he missed Saturday's thrilling 4-3 victory over Inter and had not trained with the team leading up to tonight's game.

Meanwhile, Tudor previously hinted that Zhegrova would be making his return in a weekend fixture against Hellas Verona. However, he is now poised to possibly debut in a match that could define the group stage.

Zhegrova, who joined Juventus from Lille on transfer deadline day, has not seen competitive action since December, making his potential debut tonight even more intriguing.

The stakes are high as Juventus proudly shares the top spot in Serie A, closely followed by Napoli, each boasting a perfect nine points from their opening three matches.

Adding to the excitement, Andrea Cambiaso also returns from suspension, bolstering the squad as they aim for a strong start in Europe.

Fans won't want to miss this showdown—Juventus is ready to make a statement against Borussia Dortmund! Stay tuned for what promises to be a thrilling encounter.
