Today’s Serie A clash between Juventus and Atalanta at the Allianz Stadium sees the absence of five Juventus players, along with the suspended Paul Pogba and Nicolò Fagioli.

The match kicks off in Turin at 17:00 GMT. Massimiliano Allegri has unveiled his squad for the game, confirming Weston McKennie’s return to fitness, while Moise Kean could potentially make his first appearance of 2024 after recovering from a shin injury.

Unfortunately, Mattia De Sciglio, Mattia Perin, Adrien Rabiot, and Carlos Alcaraz are sidelined due to injuries. Additionally, Dusan Vlahovic is serving a one-match suspension following his fifth yellow card against Napoli last week.

Arkadiusz Milik is set to fill in for Vlahovic alongside Federico Chiesa in the attacking lineup. Kenan Yildiz and Kean are poised to provide options from the bench as substitutes.

Samuel Iling-Junior, a former Chelsea talent, is slated to begin as a left wing-back, while Filip Kostic starts on the bench.
