The initial appeal was rejected, but an emergency motion to the High Court for Sport Justice was successful in postponing the suspension.
The High Court will only give its verdict on May 14 and the likelihood of the ban being lifted is bleak.
This means that Juventus run the very real risk of being forced to play their final home game of the season behind closed doors instead.
It would be tricky for the club to close the doors to the match with Atalanta on May 17 because the verdict would be given so near to kick-off.
Therefore the most likely fixture to be affected by the suspension is the final home game of the season against Lazio.
It would be a disappointing way to end the campaign in total silence at Turin’s Stadio Olimpico, especially as that is Pavel Nedved’s final appearance in a Juventus jersey ahead of his retirement.
