Alexandre Pato of league leaders AC Milan is poised to miss Sunday's derby against European champions Inter Milan with a thigh strain meaning Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Ronaldinho and Robinho are likely to lead the line given Filippo Inzaghi's season-ending knee problem.
Clarence Seedorf is the only threat to Ronaldinho's return as playmaker.
Defenders Daniele Bonera and Gianluca Zambrotta are back in training after knocks but are not expected to play while Andrea Pirlo may return having been rested in Wednesday's 3-1 win over Palermo because he risked suspension for the derby.
Inter's injury woes are easing with goalkeeper Julio Cesar and midfielder Dejan Stankovic likely to return to the starting lineup but right-back Maicon is around two weeks from fitness.
Wesley Sneijder, who fainted with anaemia at half-time of last weekend's draw with Brescia, missed Wednesday's 1-1 draw at Lecce but should return on Sunday.
"I leave beaten by this pseudo-sporting world," he said in a statement after being angered by the refereeing in Wednesday's 3-1 loss at Milan.
Juventus have trouble at right-back for Saturday's home game against AS Roma, given Marco Motta is suspended and will not face his former side,who are surging into form.
