Serie A line-ups confirmed for Juventus vs Atalanta | OneFootball

Juventus seek to get back on track in Serie A as Atalanta arrive in Turin, with kick-off at 17.00 UK time, 18.00 CEST, at the Allianz Juventus Stadium.

The Bianconeri routed NEC 5-0 on Thursday, but follow a draw with Milan and a 3-2 defeat at Sassuolo. Atalanta have stuttered too after losses to Roma and Cagliari. According to Football Italia, Juventus are likely to switch to 4-2-3-1 with Weston McKennie back.

An injury crisis persists. Kamil Grabara has suffered a torn ACL, joining Kenan Yildiz, Manuel Locatelli, Khephren Thuram, Jeremie Boga, Andrea Cambiaso, Jeff Ekhator and Juan Cabal on the sidelines. Nick Woltemade and Pape Matar Sarr are among the substitutes.

For Atalanta, Odilon Kossounou is the latest absentee alongside Isak Hien and Kamaldeen Sulemana, so Thomas Kristensen steps into defence. Gianluca Gaetano returns from suspension, but Franck Kessie starts. Nikola Krstovic leads the line ahead of Gianluca Scamacca and Giacomo Raspadori.

Maurizio Sarri returns to Turin, where he won the Scudetto in 2020. Atalanta boast a strong record here, unbeaten since a 2-0 result in March 2018, with two wins and six draws.

Line-ups, Juventus, Vicario, Kalulu, Bremer, Lucumi, Celik, Douglas Luiz, McKennie, Conceicao, Nico Gonzalez, Alajbegovic, Kolo Muani. Atalanta, Carnesecchi, Bellanova, Kristensen, Scalvini, Bernasconi, Samardzic, Kessie, Ederson, De Ketelaere, Krstovic, Rowe.
