Impact Musso has dealt with the flu throughout the week, and the staff will evaluate how he feels Saturday before deciding between him and Marco Carnesecchi. The two goalkeepers have alternated in recent matches.

Juan Musso - Questionable for Milan match Musso is under the weather but still likely to be available against Milan, Tuttomercatoweb reported.
Sead Kolasinac - Doubtful for Milan clash Kolasinac is nursing an ankle sprain, coach Gian Piero Gasperini informed.
Impact Kolasinac wasn't ruled out altogether but is on the wrong side of questionable and will be assessed on game day. Berat Djimsiti (hip) could make a quick return, joining Giorgio Scalvini and either Matteo Ruggeri, Marten de Roon, or Giovanni Bonfanti in the back.

Berat Djimsiti - Could play versus Milan Djimsiti (thigh) "has a chance to feature against Milan if he passes a late fitness test," coach Gian Piero Gasperini informed.
Impact Djimsiti was diagnosed with a muscular problem earlier in the week, but he improved rapidly and could be rushed back since Atalanta are dealing with several problems in the back. Marten de Roon or Matteo Ruggeri would have to adapt to the position if he didn't start. He has logged five tackles, seven interceptions, and nine clearances in the last four matches, with no clean sheets.

Rafael Toloi - Remains on the mend Toloi (calf) "will miss more time," coach Gian Piero Gasperini informed.
Impact Toloi has skipped four matches already, and, while the gaffer didn't provide a timetable for his return, he called the injury "chronic," hinting at more matches on the shelf. Berat Djimsiti (hip) could make a quick recovery and continue to replace him in the back, or the manager will have to turn to innovative solutions.

Berat Djimsiti - Nursing minor injury Djimsiti suffered a strain of the left internal obturator muscle, SportMediaset reported.
Impact Djimsiti will be out for at least a couple of weeks, sitting out multiple fixtures given the busy schedule. If Rafael Toloi or Jose Luis Palomino don't return, Marten de Roon will move to the defense, with Mario Pasalic starting in the midfield.

Giorgio Scalvini - Active in defense Scalvini registered three tackles (two won), seven clearances and four interceptions in Monday's 3-0 loss to Torino. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 9th minute.
Impact Scalvini had easily his best match of the season in the defense Monday, notching a season-high of seven clearances to go along with three tackles and four interceptions. The young Italian has been able to shape out a starting spot this season, gaining the start in 12 of the club's 13 matches, registering 27 interceptions, 28 tackles (16 won) and 32 clearances so far this campaign.

Juan Musso - Concedes three against Torino Musso made two saves and allowed three goals in Monday's 3-0 loss versus Torino.
Impact Musso was not at his best Monday, allowing three goals while only making two saves in the 3-0 loss. The goalie had a hot start to the season, registering four clean sheets in the first seven matches, but has dropped off since then, only registering one in the past five appearances in league play. His next match won't be any easier, as Atalanta hosts AC Milan.
DECEMBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Charles De Ketelaere - Quiet versus Torino De Ketelaere (oblique) took one shot on target and had one chance and one cross (zero accurate) in 57 minutes in Monday's 0-3 loss to Torino.
Impact De Ketelaere got the start despite a minor injury but had a silent performance and missed his lone scoring opportunity, hitting the goalie in a one-on-one. He's poised for regular minutes with Gianluca Scamacca sidelined for multiple fixtures. He has tallied five shots (two on target), seven key passes, and four inaccurate crosses in his last five appearances.
DECEMBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Sead Kolasinac - Doesn't feature versus Torino Kolasinac (calf) didn't come off the bench in Monday's 0-3 loss to Torino.
Impact Kolasinac was called up but wasn't evidently fit to perform as he didn't sub in even after Berat Djimsiti bowed out, forcing the coach to field a very unusual backline. He'll look to heal his achy calf ahead of the next fixture.
DECEMBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Davide Zappacosta - Unused versus Torino Zappacosta (ankle) didn't play in Monday's 0-3 loss to Torino.
Impact Zappacosta was an option after a minor injury, but the coach went with Hans Hateboer and Emil Holm, who were in better shape. His replacements haven't done much while filling in, so he'll resume being a regular once healthy.

Berat Djimsiti - Forced off against Torino Djimsiti played just 19 minutes versus Torino due to a left thigh injury, Tuttomercatoweb reported.
Impact Djimisiti picked up an ailment early in the game and couldn't continue. With Sead Kolasinac also banged up, the coach elected to move Matteo Ruggeri in the rearguard, joining Marten de Roon and Giorgio Scalvini. That could be the case against Milan on Saturday if neither played recovered.

Davide Zappacosta - Returns to bench Zappacosta (ankle) is on the bench for Monday's match against Torino.
Impact Zappacosta is returning to the bench after a one-match absence with an ankle injury. The defender will most likely get some minutes off the bench during Monday's match as he tests his fitness on his ankle. He will most likely return to the starting XI next match, only missing out on the start five times all season.
DECEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Sead Kolasinac - Earns bench nod Kolasinic (calf) is on the bench for Monday's match against Torino.
Impact Kolasinic will not miss any time with his most recent knock, returning to the bench for the tilt against Torino. This will be the defender's first match outside of the starting XI in seven matches, however, he should return to the starting XI after this contest, being the club's usual starter in the middle of the defense.
DECEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Charles De Ketelaere - Starting against Torino De Ketelaere (oblique) is in the starting XI for Monday's match against Torino.
Impact De Ketelaere is back in the starting XI after missing the last match due to an oblique injury. The attacker will most likely hold a rotational role now that he is healthy, as he spent time in the starting XI and on the bench even when fit, starting in seven of the club's 13 matches in league play.
DECEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Davide Zappacosta - Available against Torino Zappacosta (ankle) has been called up for Monday's match versus Torino.
Impact Zappacosta is good to go after sitting out the midweek continental fixture due to an ankle problem and will compete with Hans Hateboer to start on the right wing. He has assisted once and added five crosses (three accurate), two tackles, and two clearances in his last four showings.
DECEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Rafael Toloi - Stays shelved for Torino match Toloi (calf) has been omitted from Atalanta's squad list to face Torino on Monday.
Impact Toloi will sit out his fourth consecutive fixture with a nagging muscular injury. Atalanta will continue to roll with the defenders they have using lately.
DECEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Sead Kolasinac - Selected for Torino tilt Kolasinac (calf) has been called up for Monday's match against Torino.
Impact Kolasinac has been dealing with a lingering calf injury but will continue to play through it as Atalanta are razor thin in the back since Rafael Toloi and Jose Luis Palomino are on the shelf. Marten de Roon would move to the backline if he was initially spared, with Mario Pasalic in the XI. He has recorded five tackles, 12 interceptions, and 16 clearances in the last four matches, with one clean sheet.
DECEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Charles De Ketelaere - Available versus Torino De Ketelaere (oblique) has been included in Atalanta's squad list to face Torino on Monday.
Impact De Ketelaere will miss just one game due to the injury and, depending on how he feels, he could have a major role as Gianluca Scamacca just went down. He has tallied five shots (one on target), seven chances created, and four crosses (zero accurate) in his last five appearances.
DECEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Gianluca Scamacca - Picks up thigh problem Scamacca will miss at least a month due to a lesion of the MTJ of his left adductor, La Gazzetta dello Sport informed.
Impact Scamacca got hurt in practice and will return in early 2024 if everything goes well. Luis Muriel and Aleksej Miranchuk will replace him in the short-term until Charles De Ketelaere (oblique) returns.
DECEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Sead Kolasinac - Subs off versus Sporting CP Kolasinac bowed out late versus Sporting CP due to a relapse of his minor calf injury, La Gazzetta dello Sport informed.
Impact Kolasinac tried to gut it out but ran out of juice late and was subbed off. He has a few days to recover ahead of Monday's clash with Torino. Atalanta don't have many options in the back since Rafael Toloi and Jose Luis Palomino are on the mend.
DECEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Sead Kolasinac - Starting in draw Kolasinac got the start and played 86 minutes during Thursday's 1-1 draw with Sporting.
Impact Kolasinac returned to the starting XI and played 86 minutes after recovering from a calf issue. Now that he is fit once more Kolasinac should be in line for a consistent starting role heading into the very busy December schedule.
