Additionally, defender Lloyd Kelly is available for selection following a continental suspension.Up front, Randal Kolo Muani is expected to spearhead the attack, supported by Nicolás González and Francisco Conceição in a makeshift offensive setup.Atalanta team newsAtalanta travels to the Allianz Stadium looking to snap a two-game losing streak while managing several late fitness blows of their own.Manager Maurizio Sarri had his defensive plans disrupted after centre-back Odilon Kossounou picked up a muscular injury during a recent training session, ruling him out.He joins long-term absentees Isak Hien and Kamaldeen Sulemana on the sidelines, stretching the visitors’ defensive depth.To counter these losses, La Dea welcomes back midfielder Gianluca Gaetano, who returns directly to the squad after serving a suspension.Franck Kessié is tipped to anchor the midfield alongside Éderson to provide structural stability.In attack, Sarri is expected to rely on a dynamic front three featuring Gianluca Scamacca flanked by Charles De Ketelaere and teenage winger Rowe, aiming to exploit a depleted Juventus backline from the opening whistle.FormJuventusJuventus occupies eighth place after a mixed domestic start, recording two wins, a draw, and a defeat in their opening four Serie A games. They kicked off their season with successive clean-sheet victories over Frosinone and Parma, followed by a hard-fought draw against AC Milan.
