Aleksei Miranchuk and Jose Luis Palomino are also injured, with goalkeeper Juan Musso suspended.

January signing Boga and Teun Koopmeiners support Luis Muriel upfront.

Juventus, on the other hand, are feeling exceptionally confident after transforming the squad in January.

Dusan Vlahovic and Denis Zakaria both scored on their debuts, with the Serbian also creating the own goal that secured their Coppa Italia win against Sassuolo.

Giorgio Chiellini, Federico Bernardeschi and Federico Chiesa are out injured, but Leonardo Bonucci returns in defence.

Max Allegri opts for the all-attack trident of Vlahovic with Dybala and Morata, but the change is in midfield, with Zakaria sent to the bench.

Atalanta: Sportiello; Toloi, Demiral, Djimsiti; Hateboer, De Roon, Freuler, Zappacosta; Koopmeiners; Muriel, Boga

Juventus: Szczesny; Danilo, Bonucci, De Ligt, De Sciglio; McKennie, Locatelli, Rabiot; Dybala, Vlahovic, Morata
