Juventus welcome back Simone Pepe, but are without Claudio Marchisio and Lucio for their trip to Catania.

Pepe receives his first call-up of the season after a long injury lay-off, while Kwadwo Asamoah and Stefan Lichtsteiner return following their rest for the midweek Champions League match with Nordsjaelland.

Marchisio is left at home after a knock to the right ankle in Copenhagen aggravated an old injury.

Brazilian defender Lucio misses out due to a heavy cold.

Juventus take to the field against Catania on Sunday at 11.30am UK time.

Juventus squad for Catania: 1 Buffon, 3 Chiellini, 4 Caceres, 6 Pogba, 7 Pepe, 9 Vucinic, 11 De Ceglie, 12 Giovinco, 15 Barzagli, 17 Bendtner, 19 Bonucci, 20 Padoin, 21 Pirlo, 22 Asamoah, 23 Vidal, 24 Giaccherini, 26 Lichtsteiner, 27 Quagliarella, 30 Storari, 32 Matri, 33 Isla, 34 Rubinho, 39 Marrone
