Juventus's Montenegro striker Mirko Vucinic has been left out of their squad for the trip to Lazio in Serie A on Saturday (1945 GMT) after his move to Inter Milan fell through this week.
The affair has soured relations between the two Italian giants, who are traditionally bitter rivals.
Juve have been looking to offload Vucinic in the transfer window after manager Antonio Conte settled on Carlos Tevez and Fernando Llorente as his preferred strike partnership.
Juventus's Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini will also miss the champions' visit to mid-table Lazio through suspension.
Juve are eight points clear at the top of Serie A.
