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

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.

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