Chiellini, who had been left out of the group stage squad, is now completing his recovery after a serious injury last summer. As expected, he was included in the squad. Turkey's Merih Demiral is the only absentee.
The Turkish international defender was excluded due to a serious cruciate ligament injury to his left knee in early January in a match against Roma that will prevent him from playing before June.
German Sami Khedira did make the list, although he has been out since last December after surgery on his left knee. The former Real Madrid player should be available from March.
Juventus, Serie A leaders with a three-point lead over second-placed Inter Milan, will face Olympique Lyon in the Champions League round of sixteen, after winning the group ahead of Atlético Madrid.
Here is the complete list: Szczesny, De Sciglio, Chiellini, De Ligt, Pjanic, Khedira, Cristiano, Ramsey, Dybala, Douglas Costa, Alex Sandro, Danilo, Matuidi, Cuadrado, Bonucci, Higuaín, Rugani, Rabiot, Bentancur, Pinsoglio, Bernardeschi, Buffon.
