Charles De Ketelaere - Out with oblique injury De Ketelaere will not be available against Sporting CP on Thursday due to an oblique muscle injury, Giorgio Dusi of Bergamo News reports.

Impact At this point, De Ketelaere seems unlikely to be ready to face Torino on Monday, though he hasn't been officially ruled out. The forward was just one match back from a knee problem that cost him the previous two contests and now will have to watch from the sidelines once again. Gianluca Scamacca figures to reclaim a spot in the starting XI with De Ketelaere out.

Davide Zappacosta - Won't play Thursday Zappacosta (ankle) will miss out versus Sporting CP on Thursday.

Impact Zappacosta will be out of the squad for just the second time in the club's 17 matches this season. At this point, the midfielder should probably be considered a doubt against Torino on Monday, though he will have a few days to get back to 100 percent. In his stead, Hans Hateboer figures to step into the starting XI.

NOVEMBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Rafael Toloi - Unavailable again Thursday Toloi (calf) will remain on the shelf for Thursday's Europa League clash with Sporting CP.

Impact Toloi will miss his third consecutive contest due to his calf injury. Prior to getting hurt, the central defender made just three starts in his previous five contests, so he may not be immediately reinserted into the starting XI. With the club utilizing a back three, Toloi could struggle to see significant minutes once given the all-clear.

NOVEMBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sead Kolasinac - Available Thursday Kolasinac (calf) will be an option versus Sporting CP on Thursday.

Impact Kolasinac was injured versus Napoli on Saturday but appears to be no worse for the wear. Considering the defender has started all but three of the club's 17 matches this season, he should be a near-lock for the starting XI now that his injury concerns are behind him. Still, with the short week before Monday's clash with Torino, Kolasinac could be held in reserve Thursday.

NOVEMBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Giorgio Scalvini - Logs three interceptions versus Napoli Scalvini (back) had two clearances, one block, and three interceptions and created one scoring chance in Saturday's 1-2 loss to Napoli.

Impact Scalvini didn't seem hampered by his recent ailment and filled it up defensively, but he didn't look great on the two goals like the rest of the rearguard. He has tallied five tackles, eight interceptions, and seven clearances in his last five appearances.

NOVEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Teun Koopmeiners - Pretty good in Napoli clash Koopminers (thigh) took two shots (one on target) and had two key passes, five crosses (two accurate), and three corners in Saturday's 1-2 loss to Napoli.

Impact Koopmeiners was questionable coming into the game, but he drew the nod and played the whole 90 minutes, putting up his usual numbers in the final third. He has scored once and added five shots (two on target), nine chances created, and 27 crosses (eight accurate) in the last five matches. Atalanta will host Sporting CP in the Europa League on Thursday and then visit Torino on Monday.

NOVEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Charles De Ketelaere - Creates three chances against Napoli De Ketelaere (knee) took two shots (one on target), won one tackle, and created three scoring chances in Saturday's 1-2 loss to Napoli.

Impact De Ketelaere got the nod over Gianluca Scamacca despite a recent knee problem and had his busiest performance in a few weeks. He had come off the bench thrice before the hiccup. He last collected a point in September. He has tallied five shots (one on target), seven key passes, and four crosses (zero accurate) in his last five appearances.

NOVEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Marten De Roon - Eligible to face Torino De Roon cleared a one-game disqualification in Saturday's 1-2 loss to Napoli.

Impact De Roon had to miss one due to yellow-card accumulation and was replaced by Mario Pasalic in the midfield. He could play in the back against Torino if Sead Kolasinac and Rafael Toloi don't recover. He has assisted once and added five key passes, nine tackles, and nine interceptions in the last five matches.

NOVEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Hans Hateboer - Assists against Napoli Hateboer assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), five crosses (four accurate) and six chances created in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Napoli.

Impact Hateboer replaced the injured Davide Zappacosta in the 33rd minute and set up the equalizer scored by Ademola Lookman in the 53rd minute with a pinpoint cross. This was his first goal involvement of the season. He also registered the most crosses in the game along with compatriot Teun Koopmeiners (five each). He is likely to start all games in the near future due to the injury to Davide Zappacosta.

NOVEMBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ademola Lookman - Scores equalizer against Napoli Lookman scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-1 defeat versus Napoli.

Impact Lookman headed in the cross from Hans Hateboer to equalize the game in the 53rd minute. His movement caused Natan and Amir Rrahmani problems throughout the game. He was also able to make a tackle. He now has four goal involvements in his last five league appearances.

NOVEMBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Marco Carnesecchi - Poor against Napoli Carnesecchi registered one save and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-1 loss versus Napoli.

Impact Carnesecchi just made a save and a clearance and conceded to Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in the 44th minute and Eljif Elmas in the 79th minute. His misplaced pass led to Napoli's second goal. His poor performance might lead to Juan Musso becoming Atalanta's main keeper again.

Impact Kolasinac was dealing with a different physical problem before the game and subbed off after a brief consult with the staff after feeling some discomfort. The coach fielded youngster Giovanni Bonfanti since he ran out of healthy defenders. Rafael Toloi (calf) is expected back soon, and Marten de Roon, who was suspended for this one, can also play in the back.

NOVEMBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Charles De Ketelaere - Helping to lead line De Ketelaere (knee) is in the starting XI to face Napoli on Saturday.

NOVEMBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

NOVEMBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Teun Koopmeiners - Called up for Napoli game Koopmeiners (thigh) has made Atalanta's squad list to face Napoli on Saturday.

Impact Koopmeiners is well enough to avoid being ruled out in advance, but the call about his presence in the XI will be a late one as stated by the coach in the pre-game presser.

NOVEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Teun Koopmeiners - Questionable for Napoli tilt Koopmeiners "is a little banged up following international duties. He has some muscle fatigue, and we will assess him on game day," coach Gian Piero Gasperini relayed.

Impact Koopmeiners is dealing with a minor problem but doesn't have a lot of time to shake it off, and the staff could decide to be cautious. Mario Pasalic and Michel Adopo would be the potential replacements in the midfield.

NOVEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Rafael Toloi - Ruled out for Napoli game Toloi (calf) will miss Saturday's match versus Napoli, coach Gian Piero Gasperini announced.

Impact Toloi hasn't been able to recuperate for this one but was reportedly a late call, so he could be back for one of the next two matches. Giorgio Scalvini, Sead Kolasinac, and Berat Djimsiti are the only healthy defenders.

NOVEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Matteo Ruggeri - Poised to be back versus Napoli Ruggeri (ankle) returned to full training on Thursday, La Gazzetta dello Sport relayed.

Impact Ruggeri needed almost the full break to recover from an ankle sprain, but he'll be an option and has been their best man on the left flank so far. Mitchel Bakker would replace him if the staff erred on the side of caution. He has scored and assisted once in the last six matches, adding 23 crosses (nine accurate), five tackles, and four chances created.

NOVEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Giorgio Scalvini - Fit for Napoli contest Scalvini (back) has recuperated during the break, L'Eco di Bergamo announced.

He has notched seven interceptions, two blocks, and five tackles in his last five showings, with one clean sheet.

NOVEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jose Luis Palomino - Not returning versus Napoli Palomino (thigh) needs more time to recover, L'Eco di Bergamo reported.

Impact Palomino has been out since late October and hasn't reprised training during the break, so he could be a couple of weeks again from coming back. He already had a small role before the injury.
