According to Sky Sport Italia, Carlos Augusto will miss games against Juventus, Empoli and Venezia.

However, Albania international Asslani returned to group training Friday morning and will be eligible against the Old Lady on Sunday.

Canada international Buchanan also worked with the group today but remains in doubt for the Juventus game, having spent several months on the touchline with a tibia injury.

Davide Frattesi partially worked with the team today but left the training centre earlier due to toothache. Nevertheless, this doesn’t leave him in doubt for the Juventus match.

Hakan Calhanoglu and Francesco Acerbi are recovering from muscle injuries and are unlikely to be available on Sunday.
