Juventus were without Dybala for Saturday's defeat at the hands of Napoli, with the 27-year-old attacker having been part of the Argentina squad that defeated Bolivia in a World Cup qualifier on Friday. The Argentine has scored 101 goals in 256 games in the famous black and white shirt, but only managed 5 goals in 26 appearances last season.

"We must be grateful to Cristiano for all he did during these years at Juventus, but we carry on.
"This will be Paulo Dybala's team. Over the last couple of years, he lowered his average goals because of Cristiano's presence, but he is a key player for this team and that is recognised by everyone."
