There are growing reports Juventus will start Dejan Kulusevski upfront with Cristiano Ronaldo in the Coppa Italia Final against Atalanta tonight.

Alex Sandro is suspended, with Leonardo Bonucci injured, so Giorgio Chiellini and Matthijs de Ligt will start in defence, with Danilo expected to be at left-back.

The change is in reports from Sky Sport Italia that Paulo Dybala and Alvaro Morata will be dropped in favour of Kulusevski as a forward alongside Ronaldo.

It’s a surprising decision, as he disappointed in the 3-2 win over Inter when starting.

Weston McKennie and Federico Chiesa are likely to take the wings.

Atalanta seem intent on a 3-4-1-2 formation with Matteo Pessina supporting Ruslan Malinovskyi and Duvan Zapata, having Josip Ilicic and Luis Muriel to come off the bench against tired legs.

Probable line-ups

Atalanta: Gollini; Toloi, Romero, Djimsiti; Hateboer, De Roon, Freuler, Gosens; Pessina; Malinovskyi, Duvan Zapata

Juventus: Buffon; Cuadrado, De Ligt, Chiellini, Danilo; McKennie, Bentancur, Rabiot, Chiesa; Kulusevski, Ronaldo
