Emil Holm - Suspended for Juventus game Holm drew three fouls, sent in three crosses and picked up his fifth yellow card in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Bologna.
Impact Holm began on the bench for the second match in a row but was fine during his cameo. On the other hand, he'll be out versus Juventus on Sunday due to yellow-card accumulation. Davide Zappacosta or Hans Hateboer will take his place. He'll likely start versus Sporting CP given the situation.

Davide Zappacosta - Decent in Bologna tilt Zappacosta won seven duels and two of four tackles and recorded two shots (one on goal) and three crosses (zero accurate) in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Bologna.
Impact Zappacosta got the nod over Emil Holm in this one and was passable on both ends. Atalanta have started rotating their men more due to a busier schedule, which will continue given the upcoming Europa League clashes with Sporting CP. After being a deputy for a couple of months, he has started thrice in the last five games, posting one goal, six shots (five on target), five chances created and 19 crosses (seven accurate)

Teun Koopmeiners - Causes PK in Bologna game Koopmeiners won one of two tackles and had seven crosses (two accurate), one key pass and two corners in Sunday's 2-1 defeat against Bologna.
Impact Koopmeiners was passable on offense but had an ill-advised tackle on Alexis Saelemaekers in the box that kick-started the opponents' comeback. He has hit the net thrice in the last five contests, adding 10 shots (three on target), four chances created and 11 crosses (three accurate).
MARCH 4 • ROTOWIRE
Marten De Roon - Wins four tackles agaisnt Bologna De Roon registered one shot (zero on goal), one interception and two chances created and won four of four tackles in Sunday's 2-1 loss against Bologna.
Impact De Roon had a more well-rounded performance than usual and was solid defensively, but that wasn't enough to stop the opponents. He has been load-managed twice in recent weeks, with Mario Pasalic taking his place. He has tallied 19 tackles (13 won), five crosses (one accurate) and four chances created in his last five showings.

Matteo Ruggeri - Swins in bunch of crosses against Bologna Ruggeri recorded one shot (zero on goal), 11 crosses (one accurate), one interception and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 loss versus Bologna.
Impact Ruggeri had major volume and recorded a new season high in deliveries but not great touch as he connected with a teammate just once. He has posted 24 crosses (eight accurate), five key passes and two shots (one on target) in his last five appearances. He has been rested twice lately, with Davide Zappacosta and Mitchel Bakker relieving him. That may keep happening since Atalanta will resume playing in the Europa League.
MARCH 4 • ROTOWIRE
Charles De Ketelaere - Quiet in Bologna fixture De Ketelaere drew one foul, won two duels and recorded one shot (zero on goal) and two chances created in Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Bologna.
Impact De Ketelaere didn't have a noteworthy performance although he contributed to the action that led to the early goal. He hasn't hit the net in four games after a hot stretch, posting three shots (one on target), eight chances created and three crosses (zero accurate). The team might resume leaning more on Ademola Lookman scoring-wise now that he's back in peak form.

Ademola Lookman - Scores against Bologna Lookman scored one goal to go with three shots (one on trget), four crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Bologna.
Impact Lookman looked like his early-season self for the first time since returning from AFCON and hit the net with an opportunist finish, on top of pacing his side in attempts. He's poised to be a regular starter from here on out despite Atalanta's depth up front. He has posted three shots (one on target), three chances created and five crosses (one accurate) in the last three games.
MARCH 4 • ROTOWIRE
Marco Carnesecchi - Beaten twice by Bologna Carnesecchi registered four saves, one clearance and one punch and conceded two goals in Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Bologna.
Impact Carnesecchi had multiple great saves in the second half but still let two in due to a PK and a strike from distance. He has blanked the opponents once in the last four rounds, making 16 saves and giving up seven goals. Atalanta will visit Sporting CP in the Europa League on Wednesday and then Juventus on Sunday.

Giorgio Scalvini - Wins one tackle versus Inter Scalvini (shoulder) had two clearances, one interception and one tackle (one won) in 58 minutes in Wednesday's 4-0 loss to Inter.

Davide Zappacosta - Whips in seven crosses Zappacosta registered seven crosses (two accurate) and one corner in Wednesday's 4-0 loss versus Inter Milan.
Impact Zappacosta was one of the few Atalanta to post somewhat of a decent match Wednesday, creating one chance while falling one short of his season-high in crosses with seven in the loss. The midfielder has fallen out of favor recently, only gaining four starts in the club's past 10 matches after starting the season getting the start in all but two of the first 15 contests. He will hope to have earned the starting spot back after getting the start Wednesday, as he has been decent when on the field, notching 64 crosses to go along with two goals on 36 shots and two assists on 15 chances created in 26 appearances from the left flank this campaign.

Marco Carnesecchi - Concedes four against Inter Carnesecchi had three saves and allowed four goals in Wednesday's 4-0 defeat to Inter Milan.
Impact Carnesecchi was far from his best Wednesday, only making three saves as he allowed four goals past him in the loss. The goalie has now gone two matches since his last clean sheet, having six in league play this season. He will hope to change that and pick up his seventh when they host Bologna on Sunday.

Teun Koopmeiners - Extends scoring run Koopmeiners scored from the spot, attempting three shots in total (one on target) in Sunday's 1-1 draw with AC Milan.
Impact Koopmeiners made it five games in a row with a goal when he scored the equalizer from the penalty spot. The attacking midfielder is now Atalanta's joint top scorer with eight. He is just two goals off his total from last year, the highest of his career to date, with a third of the season remaining.

Marco Carnesecchi - Five saves in draw Carnesecchi made five saves and conceded once in Sunday's 1-1 draw with AC Milan.
Impact WIth the score at 1-1, Carnesecchi made a series of good saves that preserved a vital point for his team in the race for the top four. He has not conceded more than once in a game since seizing the no.1 jersey from Juan Musso, keeping four clean sheets. The keeper will do well to shut out league-leaders Inter on Wednesday.

Giorgio Scalvini - Available versus Inter Scalvini (shoulder) "is fine for Wednesday's game," coach Gian Piero Gasperini informed.
Impact Scalvini got away with a simple contusion and will be an option, although the coach stated he could rotate some men given the short turnaround. Isak Hien or Rafael Toloi would start if he didn't. He has logged six tackles (five won), five interceptions, and nine in clearances in the last four rounds, with two assists and one clean sheet.
