Juventus's Giorgio Chiellini pulled up with an injury in training, but FC Barcelona are in fine shape for Saturday's UEFA Champions League final; see how both sides might line up.
Juventus (ITA)
Possible lineup
Buffon; Lichtsteiner, Bonucci, Chiellini, Evra; Marchisio, Pirlo, Pogba; Vidal; Tévez, Morata.
• Doubtful: Barzagli (thigh), Chiellini (calf)
• Out: Cáceres (ankle), Asamoah* (knee), Rômulo* (thigh)
*Removed from the list in January
Team news
Andrea Barzagli
The centre-back has not played since suffering a thigh strain against SSC Napoli on 23 May but returned to regular training on Wednesday, though he would likely only be in contention for a final place if Massimiliano Allegri opts to play a three-man defence.
Giorgio Chiellini
The centre-back was forced to pull out of training early on Wednesday due to a problem with his left calf. His condition will be evaluated on Thursday.
Paul Pogba
Injured his ankle on 18 March and only returned on 9 May. He has since played a total of 255 minutes in Serie A and 89 in the UEFA Champions League. "Hopefully he will be at his peak in Berlin," said Allegri.
Martín Cáceres
The versatile defender has been out since fracturing his ankle in March, at which point he was ruled out for the season.
Álvaro Morata
A second-half substitute in last season's final, when he helped Real Madrid CF overcome Club Atlético de Madrid, the young forward is expected to start this time around. "I feel in great form physically," he said.
Roberto Pereyra
He is not expected to start in Berlin, but attacking midfielder Pereyra is certainly among those hitting form. After scoring in Juve's last two Serie A matches of the season, he will probably be involved.
FC Barcelona (ESP)
Possible lineup
Ter Stegen; Alves, Piqué, Mascherano, Alba; Rakitic, Busquets, Iniesta; Messi, Suárez, Neymar.
• Doubtful: none
• Out: none
Team news
Andres Iniesta
The midfielder was taken off in the second half of Saturday's Copa del Rey final against Athletic Club, but although he missed training on Tuesday, he insisted: "Not playing on Saturday has never crossed my mind." Should Barcelona triumph, the 31-year-old will join Clarence Seedorf as the only player to have won the UEFA Champions League four times.
Luis Suárez
The Uruguayan missed Barcelona's final two league matches with a hamstring problem but returned to the starting lineup for the Copa del Rey final and played 78 minutes before being replaced by Pedro Rodríguez, providing the assist for Neymar's goal. He is in line to play in his first European final.
Xavi Hernández
After 17 years, the midfield metronome is hoping his final outing for Barcelona before he joins al-Sadd SC in Qatar will bring him a 25th piece of silverware with the club. "This one is special because it's my last game for Barcelona," he said. "I want to lift that trophy and dedicate it to all of Barcelona."
Ivan Rakitic
Man of the match as Sevilla FC won the 2014 UEFA Europa League final, this is the Croatian's first UEFA Champions League decider. "I played in a European final last year, but this is different," he said. "I will try to not think too much about it and try to prepare as well as possible."
Lionel Messi
The Argentinian has played all but 23 minutes of Barcelona's UEFA Champions League campaign and if he scores in Berlin he will become the first player to find the net in three UEFA Champions League finals, having registered in the 2009 and 2011 wins against Manchester United FC.
