The Bianconeri players were injured in training and medical checks ruled Dybala, the 22-year-old Argentine, out of the game in Munich on Wednesday due to a minor muscle problem.

Italy international Marchisio was diagnosed with a torn calf muscle and will be sidelined for up to 20 days.

Last season's Champions League finalists came from two goals down to draw 2-2 in Turin and must beat Bayern or score three goals or more in a draw to advance to the quarter-finals of Europe's premier club competition.

Juventus, like Bayern, are chasing a treble of titles this season, leading the Serie A race by three points thanks to a near flawless run this year.

They have conceded only one goal in 12 Serie A matches in 2016, keeping an unprecedented 10th successive clean sheet in the 1-0 win over Sassuolo last week.
