Gianluigi Buffon has been left out of the Juventus squad for the Serie A leaders' home game against Genoa on Sunday.
Buffon has been rested after his exploits in the Champions League in midweek, when he kept a clean sheet in the face of a Barcelona barrage at Camp Nou to see Juve through to the semi-finals.
Neto is expected to take the gloves against Genoa in the absence of the 39-year-old goalkeeper, while Miralem Pjanic is not included as the Bosnian midfielder is suspended.
Juan Cuadrado features in Massimiliano Allegri's 24-man squad despite carrying an injury, while Claudio Marchisio returns after missing the Barca clash with a calf problem.
