Kenan Yildiz in doubt for Juventus clash with Atalanta | OneFootball

According to reports, Juventus could be forced to do without Kenan Yildiz in the Serie A showdown with Atalanta.

It kicks off at the Allianz Juventus Stadium in Turin on Sunday at 19.45 GMT.

This is a potentially huge clash, as only three points separate La Dea in third place from the Bianconeri in fourth.

Kenan Yildiz was widely expected to be in the starting XI, but Sky Sport Italia warn the Turkey international is now in doubt after suffering from a stomach bug.

It remains to be seen how well he has recovered by Sunday evening, as he still has time to shake off the illness.

Thiago Motta is again dealing with a lengthy absentee list, including Francisco Conceicao, Douglas Luiz, Niccolò Savona, Jonas Rouhi, Arek Milik, Gleison Bremer and Juan Cabal.

Teun Koopmeiners had been on poor form, but his goal in last week’s victory over Verona seems to have boosted his confidence, along with the possibility of facing his former Atalanta teammates.
