Carlos Tevez has been left out of the Juventus starting XI for this evening's Serie A clash against Udinese.

Tevez was withdrawn with 12 minutes of normal time remaining in Juve's 2-1 victory over Lyon in the Europa League on Thursday night, and he will start tonight's game on the bench as Sebastian Giovinco comes into the side.

Fernando Llorente also starts as Antonio Conte makes five changes overall, bringing in Stephan Lichtsteiner, Paul Pogba and Angelo Ogbonna too.

Udinese, meanwhile, welcome talismanic striker Antonio di Natale back into their starting XI as one of four changes for Francesco Guidolin's side.

Dusan Basta, Maurizio Domizzi and Hassan Yebda also come into the team as the hosts look to prevent the league leaders moving eight points clear.
