Yet while many of the replacements the former Juve boss drafts into his starting XI are obvious, La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that his one dilemma centres on the decision to field either Federico Bernardeschi or Stephan El Shaarawy as a wing-back.
Given that - despite playing on opposite flanks - both are very attack-minded players and Conte is looking to balance the side with a more defensive player lining up across from them, likely to be Alessandro Florenzi of AS Roma.
El Shaarawy was bought in full by the Giallorossi on Tuesday, the club paying AC Milan €13 million for the 23 year old who has scored three times in 19 appearances for Italy. If Fiorentina man Bernardeschi is given the nod, it would mark only the fifth time he has pulled on the Azzurri jersey, having only made his debut back in March.
