Juventus team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Atalanta

Sports Mole rounds up Juventus's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Sunday's Serie A clash with Atalanta.

Juventus will be looking to win in Serie A for just the second time since the start of April when they welcome top-four hopefuls Atalanta on Sunday night.

The Old Lady have been extremely comfortable in their title success this season, but results in recent weeks have been disappointing - winning just one of their last five in the league.

Juve will enter Sunday's clash off the back of a 2-0 defeat at Roma, and they will now end their season with back-to-back matches against Atalanta and Sampdoria.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest injury and suspension news for Juve ahead of the match.


JUVENTUS'S INJURY LIST

Mattia Perin

Status: Out
Type of injury: Shoulder
Possible return date: Unknown

Number two goalkeeper Mattia Perin picked up a shoulder injury in training last month and is unlikely to play again this season. As a result, third-choice stopper Carlo Pinsoglio will again make the bench this weekend.


Mario Mandzukic

Type of injury: Knee
Possible return date: Unknown

Mario Mandzukic, who has eight goals and seven assists in the league this season, has missed Juve's last five Serie A matches with a knee problem. Like Perin, the striker is not expected to return before the end of the campaign.


Sami Khedira

Type of injury: Knee
Possible return date: Unknown

Sami Khedira underwent knee surgery last month, and will not play again this season. It has been a frustrating campaign for the experienced midfielder, who has been restricted to just 10 Serie A appearances.


Douglas Costa

Type of injury: Calf
Possible return date: Unknown

Douglas Costa picked up a calf injury against Ajax in the Champions League in early April. The Brazilian has not actually turned out in Serie A since the start of February, missing out once again against Roma last time out.


Leonardo Bonucci

Status: Minor doubt
Type of injury: Ankle

Key centre-back Leonardo Bonucci missed the defeat at Roma with an ankle injury. The suggestions, however, are that the Italian will be fit to return to the side this weekend.


Moise Kean

Possible return date: May 19 (vs. Atalanta)

Moise Kean, who has scored seven times in 15 appearances this season, missed the game against Roma through illness. The teenager should be available this weekend, though.

Head coach Massimiliano Allegri has no suspension concerns ahead of this weekend's clash.
