Juan Cuadrado is suspended for the next Juventus match against Sassuolo, leaving the Bianconeri with a shortage of full-backs.


The Colombia international was booked during last night’s 2-2 draw with Atalanta, activating a ban for his accumulation of yellow cards.

He is the only player suspended from Saturday’s fixtures, which also included Lazio-Sassuolo and Brescia-Roma.

It leaves Juve without Cuadrado, plus injured Mattia De Sciglio, Merih Demiral and Sami Khedira, for Wednesday night's match at the Mapei Stadium.

Alex Sandro returned to action as a substitute over the last couple of games, so should be ready to start with Sassuolo, using Danilo on the right.

In an emergency situation, Blaise Matuidi has also been used as a left-back, most recently in the 4-0 win over Lecce on June 26
