Just saw a report on Football-Italia that Vlahovic is also a major doubt.
This game is obviously important. Never a bad time to beat Juventus. But with the point penalty + Juve's and Roma's result this past Monday - the game is not critical to our Serie A standing. All we need is 3 points against either Juventus or Verona and we're fine.
Of course, this is Italy, and there is always the risk that this Juventus points penalty will again be appealed, go away, be reduced, etc. But so far, there has been no signs that Juventus will appeal. Most sources say that they actually will not, and on top of that there's the (more than likely) incoming UEFA suspension.
Anyway, like I said, the games against Juventus are the most important ones of the season along with those against Inter. So there doesn't need to be points/standings motivation here. Simply playing against them is enough.
We can obviously win the game and secure the CL this weekend. Hopefully that happens.
