| Juve fan ban date unclear |

Juventus will have to play one home game behind closed doors after their appeal against a fan ban was rejected, but it's not clear when.
The Old Lady were penalised after a section of their support racially abused Inter striker Mario Balotelli during the Derby d'Italia.
The Lecce clash a fortnight ago was initially set as the game to be played without fans, but an appeal delayed the punishment.
However, CONI”s High Court of Sports Justice has thrown out the appeal and the sentence will be served.
Usually such a situation would result in the sanction being imposed for the next available game.
However, with Juventus hosting Atalanta this Sunday, the game may come too soon.
It is suspected that Juve fans will instead be locked out of the final day clash against Lazio.
