Sami Khedira will play no part in the Coppa Italia final on Saturday, having been left out of Juventus' team list.
Khedira has been recovering from a calf injury but failed to return to fitness in time for the match against AC Milan at Stadio Olimpico.
The Germany international last appeared in the 2-1 Serie A victory over Fiorentina on April 24.
Khedira has been excluded from Massimiliano Allegri's 21-man squad for Saturday's final, despite being selected in the preliminary Germany team for Euro 2016.
It is a blow for Juve, which will also be without Leonardo Bonucci as the centre-back serves a suspension.
However, the pair will travel to Rome with the squad.
Juve will be looking to become the first Italian side to win a domestic double in successive seasons.
