Impact Brescianini netted the opener in the 35th minute by converting a rebound. He then also calmly netted the fourth goal of the game assisted by Mario Pasalic in the 66th minute.

Mateo Retegui - Scores brace against Lecce Retegui scored two goals to go with three shots (three on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Monday's 4-0 victory against Lecce.

Impact Retegui made a blistering start to his Atalanta career as he headed in Matteo Ruggeri's cross just before halftime. Retegui then won himself a penalty in the 57th minute and calmly converted it. Last season, he scored seven times for Genoa will aim to improve his tally with Atalanta this season.

AUGUST 19 • ROTOWIRE

Juan Musso - Keeps clean sheet against Lecce Musso recorded four saves and secured a clean sheet in Monday's 4-0 win versus Lecce.

Lazar Samardzic - Completes Atalanta switch Samardzic has joined Atalanta on loan with a conditioned mandatory option to buy from Udinese, the team confirmed.

Impact Samardzic makes the jump to a bigger club after logging six goals, two assists, 57 shots (12 on target) and 62 key passes in 34 appearances in 2023/2024. He'll have a prominent role if Teun Koopmeiners leaves; otherwise, he'll have to settle for backup minutes initially.

AUGUST 18 • ROTOWIRE

Ademola Lookman - Will miss Lecce clash Lookman didn't make Atalanta's squad list to face Lecce on Monday because of an ongoing negotiation with PSG to leave the team, La Gazzetta dello Sport informed.

Impact Lookman didn't show up for the final training session to force his way out and won't be involved, but Atalanta haven't necessarily been lenient with players trying to depart. Mateo Retegui and Charles De Ketelaere will form the attacking duo in this one and possibly in the following two matches as well.

AUGUST 18 • ROTOWIRE

Nicolo Zaniolo - Absent for Lecce fixture Zaniolo (foot) hasn't been called up for Monday's game versus Lecce.

Impact Zaniolo is reportedly improving but isn't quite ready to play yet. Mateo Retegui and Charles De Ketelaere are the only available attackers as Ademola Lookman, El Bilal Toure and Teun Koopmeiners are all out for transfer market-related reasons.

AUGUST 18 • ROTOWIRE

Teun Koopmeiners - Remains out of the squad Koopmeiners (transfer market) hasn't been selected for Monday's tilt versus Lecce.

Impact Koopmeiners hasn't budged, and the situation could eventually change only if he's still at the club past deadline day. Mario Pasalic will absorb most of his playing time as Atalanta are paper thin at the moment.

AUGUST 18 • ROTOWIRE

Rafael Toloi - Will miss more games Toloi has been diagnosed with a first-grade left biceps femoris strain, Mediaset informed.

Impact Toloi already missed the Super Cup against Real Madrid due to the injury and will be most likely sidelined through the September break. Atalanta will be short-handed in the back for the early games since Sead Kolasinac (thigh) is hurt too and Giorgio Scalvini (knee) is out long-term.

AUGUST 17 • ROTOWIRE

Sead Kolasinac - Suffers muscular injury Kolasinac picked up a right biceps femoris strain versus Real Madrid, La Gazzetta dello Sport relayed.

Impact Kolasinac will have to sit out at least a couple of weeks to heal up. Ben Godfrey will slide into the starting XI next to Isak Hien and Berat Djimsiti unless the coach decides to use Marten de Roon in the back.

AUGUST 17 • ROTOWIRE

Marco Brescianini - Moves to Atalanta Brescianini has joined Atalanta on loan with an obligation to buy from Frosinone, the team announced.

Impact Brescianini returns to Serie A after a solid season despite his former club's relegation. He'll provide depth in multiple roles in the midfield thanks to his versatility, but he's unlikely to feature as regularly as last season. He tallied four goals, two assists, 22 key passes and 28 tackles in 36 matches (24 starts) in 2023/2024.

Kylian Mbappé appears ready to make his debut for Real Madrid in the UEFA Super Cup against Atalanta on Wednesday

AUGUST 13 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

El Bilal Toure - Will sit out the Super Cup Toure hasn't been called up for Wednesday's clash with Real Madrid because he asked to leave, Tuttomercatoweb informed.

Impact Toure didn't find his footing after an early major injury last season and wants a change of scenery, which was confirmed by coach Gian Piero Gasperini in an interview with L'Eco Di Bergamo. It appears that the team won't field him until the situation is sorted out, so he could miss further fixtures.

AUGUST 13 • ROTOWIRE

Teun Koopmeiners - Currently holding out Koopmeiners won't be involved in the Super Cup against Real Madrid as he has stopped practicing to force his way out, coach Gian Piero Gasperini told L'Eco di Bergamo.

Impact Koopmeiners has produced a medical certificate that exonerates him from training due to stress. Juventus are after him. He's likely to miss the first Serie A matches if the move doesn't come together beforehand.

AUGUST 13 • ROTOWIRE

Nicolo Zaniolo - Unavailable versus Real Madrid Zaniolo (foot) hasn't been selected for Wednesday's Super Cup against Real Madrid, Atalanta informed.

Impact Zaniolo has been nursing a nagging injury, which is serious enough to sideline him for the first official game on the season. The coach will lean on Charles De Ketelaere, Ademola Lookman, Mateo Retegui and Mario Pasalic up front.

AUGUST 13 • ROTOWIRE

Rafael Toloi - Ruled out for Super Cup Toloi will miss Wednesday's game versus Real Madrid due to a thigh injury, Atalanta relayed.

Impact Toloi got hurt in a recent friendly and is undergoing further evaluations to determine the severity of the issues. He'll continue to be a deep reserve in the back this campaign.

AUGUST 13 • ROTOWIRE

Nicolo Zaniolo - Picks up minor injury Zaniolo skipped Friday's friendly against St. Pauli due to foot tendonitis, La Gazzetta dello Sport informed.

Impact Zaniolo is having trouble with the same foot he got operated on in recent months, which sidelined him for most of the summer. He'll open the season behind the eight ball from the physical standpoint even if he's available for the Super Cup against Real Madrid and the opener versus Lecce.
