Summary
Juventus face Atalanta on Sunday with Luciano Spalletti planning a familiar 3-4-2-1 shape to manage an expanding injury list. With Grabara sidelined for 6–8 months following ACL surgery, the club must find a backup goalkeeper by January; teenager Riccardo Radu will be in the squad for this match. Spalletti will rotate after Thursday's cup win, recalling Nico González and Conceiçao to the attacking line while McKennie, back from injury, anchors midfield flexibility. Kolo Muani is expected to start up front.
