Impact De Ketelaere scored a pair of goals in Sunday's win -- a penalty in the 43rd minute and a goal in the 76th minute assisted by Gianluca Scamacca -- his second straight match with two goal contributions.

Impact Ederson didn't participate in any goal but still had a pretty good showing. However, he'll have to miss the next one due to yellow-card accumulation. If Teun Koompeiners (heel) doesn't return, Mario Pasalic will play in the midfield, and they'll go with three pure attackers.

Michel Ndary Adopo - Will miss Lazio match Adopo has been omitted from the squad list to face Lazio on Sunday due to back pain, Ansa relayed.

Impact Adopo picked up the injury in training and will skip at least one fixture because of it. He would have had better chances of featuring than usual since Teun Koopmeiners (heel) is sidelined. Atalanta called up youngster Leonardo Mendicino to provide depth behind the starters.

FEBRUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Jose Luis Palomino - Ruled out for Lazio game Palomino will miss Sunday's match versus Lazio due to a thigh injury, Ansa informed.

Impact Palomino might be forced to skip additional fixtures as he's waiting for the test results after getting hurt late in the week. Atalanta only have Rafael Toloi behind the starters since Isak Hien (thigh) is out as well.

FEBRUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Teun Koopmeiners - Stays on the mend Koopmeiners (heel) hasn't been selected for Sunday's clash with Lazio.

Impact Koopmeiners has resumed training in limited fashion following a deep cut but will miss the second match in a row because of it. Aleksej Miranchuk played in the hole last week and fared well, but the coach might decide to go with the more defensive-minded Mario Pasalic in a more challenging bout.

ATALANTA-UDINESE 2-0 | HIGHLIGHTS | Scamacca back on the scoresheet | Serie A 2023/24

JANUARY 27 • YOUTUBE

Marco Carnesecchi - Blanks Udinese Carnesecchi had five saves, one clearance, and one punch and allowed zero goals in Saturday's 2-0 win versus Udinese.

Impact Carnesecchi was threatened a little in the second half but didn't need to pull off stellar saves to come away with the clean sheet. He has clearly surpassed Juan Musso at this point as he has started in seven straight contests. He has conceded three times, shut down the opponents thrice, and made 24 saves in such a stretch. Atalanta will host Lazio next Sunday.

JANUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Rafael Toloi - Unused in Udinese tilt Toloi (illness) didn't play in Saturday's 2-0 win over Udinese.

Impact Toloi was back on the bench but didn't get minutes, as the starters played most of the game, and Jose Luis Palomino was the only deputy defender to come off the bench. He should be the clear fourth option while Isak Hien (thigh) is out, but he might have to wait until the schedule gets busier.

JANUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Hans Hateboer - Wins one duel against Udinese Hateboer (calf) drew one foul and won one duel in 21 minutes in Saturday's 2-0 victory versus Udinese.

Impact Hateboer returned from a calf problem and got some action off the bench, without making an impact. Despite being healthy, he has at least three options ahead of him in the depth chart, and they are all currently available. He has featured 10 times in Serie A play (four starts), notching 18 crosses (10 accurate), six tackles, and eight clearances.

JANUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Sead Kolasinac - Serviceable against Udinese Kolasinac recorded one cross (zero accurate), one block, and one clearance, and two tackles (two won) in Saturday's 2-0 win over Udinese.

Impact Kolasinac was the busiest among the Atalanta defenders, who didn't need to do much to stop the opponents in this one. He has gotten the nod five times in a row, tallying 10 tackles (eight won), seven clearances, and two crosses (one accurate).

JANUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Matteo Ruggeri - Productive in Udinese fixture Ruggeri won two of three tackles and four duels and registered five crosses (four accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-0 win against Udinese.

Impact Ruggeri had his way down the flank especially in the first half and was the runner-up in crosses within his side. He has tallied 17 deliveries (six accurate), four tackles (three won), and four interceptions in the last six rounds.

JANUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Emil Holm - Lively versus Udinese Holm generated three shots (two on goal), one interception, five duels, and three crosses (zero accurate) in Saturday's 2-0 win over Udinese.

Impact Holm performed with a lot of energy and was a factor on both ends. He picked up a secondary assist for his involvement in the second goal. He has started over Davide Zappacosta in three straight games, tallying one goal, eight shots (three on target), and five inaccurate crosses.

JANUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Marten De Roon - Wins five tackles in Udinese game De Roon had one cross (one accurate), two clearances, eight successful duels, and six tackles (five won) in Saturday's 2-0 win versus Udinese.

Impact De Roon played a big part in keeping the opponents in check, racking up defensive stats in the process. He has assisted once and added 17 tackles (10 won), nine interceptions, and nine clearances in the last five matches.

JANUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Charles De Ketelaere - Logs two assists against Udinese De Ketelaere assisted twice to go with two shots (two on goal), three crosses (two accurate), and four chances created in Saturday's 2-0 victory against Udinese.

Impact De Ketelaere didn't hit the net this time but was involved in both goals, teeing up Aleksey Miranchuk with a low-driven cross and Gianluca Scamacca with a clever touch on a set piece. He's up to six in Serie A play. He has scored three times, set up three teammates, and tallied nine shots (eight on target) and 12 chances created in his last six appearances. Atalanta will host Lazio next Sunday.

JANUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Aleksey Miranchuk - Finds target in Udinese tilt Miranchuk scored one goal to go with two shots (two on target), seven crosses (two accurate), and three corners in Saturday's 2-0 win against Udinese.

Impact Miranchuk broke the deadlock with a partially scuffed shot on a timely cut that was still precise enough to beat the goalie. It's his second of the season. He has taken full advantage first of Gianluca Scamacca's injury and then of Ademola Lookman's AFCON-related absence to become a regular. He has scored twice and posted seven shots (four on target), eight chances created, and 25 crosses (seven accurate) in the last six matches.

JANUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Gianluca Scamacca - Scores versus Udinese Scamacca scored one goal to go with four shots (three on target), one chance created, and one foul drawn in Saturday's 2-0 win over Udinese.

Impact Scamacca didn't put up huge numbers but tucked the ball home from close range to put his team up by two goals in the first half. He hadn't scored since late November, also due to a thigh injury that cost him four games. He has assisted once and added 10 shots (five on target) and five key passes in the last four rounds while Ademola Lookman (AFCON) was away.

JANUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Rafael Toloi - Recovers from illness Toloi (illness) is in the squad to face Udinese on Saturday.

Impact Toloi returns from the flu which kept him out of last week's match against Frosinone. The defender is available from the bench with Berat Djimisiti continuing to start in his place.
