Key points

  • Atalanta defender Odilon Kossounou suffered a left hamstring strain in training on Friday ahead of Sunday's trip to Juventus
  • Sarri may deploy Kristensen as replacement, though the ex-Udinese defender is still recovering from injury
  • Alternative option is to shift Kolasinac to centre-back with Bernasconi at left-back

Summary

Atalanta's defensive options are stretched ahead of Sunday's Serie A clash at Juventus, with Kossounou sidelined by a hamstring problem picked up in Friday's training session. The Ivorian will undergo further scans in the coming days. Sarri faces a choice between deploying Kristensen, who is not yet fully fit after his own recent injury, or reshuffling his backline to accommodate Kolasinac in a central role.
