Nadir Zortea - Swings in four crosses versus Frosinone Zortea won one of two tackles and had one shot (zero on goal), four crosses (two accurate), and one chance created in Saturday's 1-2 defeat against Frosinone.

Impact Zortea didn't score like in the opener but provided a spark off the bench for the second game in a row. He's poised for a somewhat regular role if Atalanta don't sign more wingbacks. He has notched six crosses (three accurate), two tackles, two shots (one on target), and one key pass through two fixtures.

Teun Koopmeiners - Productive despite losing effort Koopmeiners created three scoring chances and recorded four shots (two on goal), six crosses (one accurate), and three corners in Saturday's 1-2 defeat versus Frosinone.

Impact Koopmeiners led his side in pretty much all offensive categories and tried to engineer most of the offense, although with meager results given the score. He has tallied six chances created, 13 crosses (two accurate), eight corners, and five shots (three on target) so far. Atalanta will face Monza at home Saturday.

Ederson - Provides assist in Frosinone game Ederson assisted once to go with one cross (one accurate), three interceptions, and two chances created in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Frosinone.

Impact Ederson played over Mario Pasalic in the second game of the season and fared well on both ends, on top of collecting a point by feeding Duvan Zapata in the box with a slick pass. He had just one helper in the entire past campaign. He has tallied two shots (zero on target), two crosses (one accurate), and six tackles in two games.

Duvan Zapata - Scores against Frosinone Zapata scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal), three crosses (zero accurate), and one chance created in Saturday's 1-2 defeat against Frosinone.

Impact Zapata sliced the opposing lead in half with a great first touch and shot in the box, but his side didn't manage to complete the comeback. He has looked better than Gianluca Scamacca to open the season, and El Bilal Toure suffering a serious injury opens up plenty of playing time for him. He has logged five shots (three on target), two key passes, and six crosses (zero accurate) in two appearances.

AUGUST 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Juan Musso - Beaten twice by Frosinone Musso had three saves and conceded two goals in Saturday's 1-2 loss against Frosinone.

Impact Musso paid the price for a lackadaisical start by his defense, which let two opponents conclude from the middle of the box pretty much unencumbered in the first half. He kept a clean sheet in the opener and has staved off Marco Carnesecchi so far. Atalanta will face Monza at home Saturday.

AUGUST 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jose Luis Palomino - Stays on the mend Palomino (thigh) wasn't named in Atalanta's squad list to face Frosinone Saturday.

Impact Palomino has yet to heal fully and is in danger of skipping more fixtures. The coach hinted he would confirm the same backline as last week, thus using Giorgio Scalvini, Berat Djimsiti, and Sead Kolasinac.

El Bilal Toure - Undergoes surgery Toure went under the knife in Barcelona to repair his torn tendon insertion, Atalanta announced.

Impact Toure was operated on by specialist Ramon Cugat. He's expected to be out for three-to-four months, also considering the time he'll need to get back into shape, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs. In the meantime, Atalanta will deploy Ademola Lookman, Duvan Zapata, Charles De Kelelaere, and Gianluca Scamacca.

Juan Musso - Keeps clean sheet in opener Musso recorded three saves and allowed zero goals in Sunday's 2-0 victory over Sassuolo.

Impact Musso didn't have a lot of work Sunday, but he made his presence felt when needed and cruised to a clean sheet. The Argentina international will aim to secure a second consecutive clean shutout when Atalanta takes on Frosinone on Saturday.

AUGUST 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nadir Zortea - Scores stoppage-time goal Zortea scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and two crosses (one accurate) in Sunday's 2-0 victory against Sassuolo.

Impact Zortea was a constant threat on the right side of the field, and he was rewarded late in the second half with a strike from outside of the box that sneaked into an impossible angle for Andrea Consigli. Zortea is not expected to be a regular name in the scoresheet, but he certainly turned a few heads with his performance Sunday.

AUGUST 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Michel Ndary Adopo - Assists in win over Sassuolo Adopo assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Sunday's 2-0 win versus Sassuolo.

Impact Adopo broke the lines with a run forward and generated enough attention to open things up in the right flank, allowing Nadir Zortea to appear all alone to bag Atalanta's second goal. This was his first assist of the season, and he could be earning bonuses to start when Atalanta takes on Frosinone on Saturday.

AUGUST 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Charles De Ketelaere - Comes off bench to score Sunday De Ketelaere scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) in Sunday's 2-0 win versus Sassuolo.

Impact De Ketelaere couldn't have wished for a better Atalanta debut, as he came off the bench in a tight game and broke things free with a header from close range in the latter stages of the second half. The Belgium international needs to get in game shape, but he's doing enough to become a starter sooner than later, as he changed the match with his presence in the second half.

AUGUST 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Matteo Ruggeri - Assists in opener Ruggeri assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), six crosses (two accurate) and three chances created in Sunday's 2-0 victory over Sassuolo.

Impact Ruggeri set up the first goal for Atalanta with a perfect cross in the 83rd minute that was nodded home by Charles De Ketelaere. Ruggeri was a constant attacking threat in the final meters but also delivered a solid performance on defense, and he should remain in the starting lineup when Atalanta takes on Frosinone on Saturday.

AUGUST 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Rafael Toloi - Unused versus Sassuolo Toloi (thigh) didn't feature in Sunday's 2-0 win over Sassuolo.

Impact Toloi was part of the squad, but his teammates are in better shape due to a recent thigh injury. He'll unseat either Sead Kolasinac or Berat Djimsiti once he's in good enough shape.

AUGUST 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nicolo Cambiaghi - Clears suspension Cambiaghi will be available against Frosinone following a one-game suspension.

Impact Cambiaghi was sent off in his final match with Empoli and served the disqualification in the opener. He's not a lock to stay put at Atalanta as other clubs have requested him on loan, which might affect his role in the early going.

Brandon Soppy - Sidelined for opener Soppy (thigh) won't be available Sunday against Sassuolo, Atalanta announced.

Impact Soppy has yet to fully shake off his previous major thigh injury and isn't a lock to stay put past deadline day, so he might not be involved in the next two matches either. Atalanta are down to Davide Zappacosta and Michel Adopo on the right wing since Hans Hateboer (knee) is hurt too and Joakim Maehle just left.

AUGUST 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Hans Hateboer - Out against Sassuolo Hateboer (knee) has resumed training with the rest of the group but hasn't been called up for Sunday's clash with Sassuolo.

Impact Hateboer has entered the final stage of his rehab from an ACL tear but is not quite ready yet and could be sidelined for further matches. He didn't play in the summer friendlies. Davide Zappacosta and Michel Adopo will be the top choices on the right flank Sunday.

AUGUST 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jose Luis Palomino - Ruled out for Sassuolo game Palomino (thigh) hasn't been selected for Sunday's game versus Sassuolo

Impact Palomino hasn't fully recovered from a previous season-ending injury and is also rumored to be on his way out. Atalanta will count on Rafael Toloi, Giorgio Scalvini, Berat Djimsiti, and Sead Kolasinac in the back in this one.

AUGUST 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Rafael Toloi - Good to go for opener Toloi (thigh) "has been practicing fully and will be available Sunday," coach Gian Piero Gasperini announced.

Impact Toloi resumed training after dealing with a thigh injury. The gaffer sounded non-committal about starting him and alluded that Sead Kolasinac would replace him if he was held out of the XI.

AUGUST 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

El Bilal Toure - Suffers serious injury Toure ruptured the insertion of the rectus femoris tendon in his right thigh during the final friendly, Atalanta announced.

Impact Toure is headed for a lengthy absence as the team added that will evaluate the "most adequate surgical strategy for a complete recovery." He'll go under the knife in the next few days and then likely miss multiple months. Atalanta also added Charles De Ketelaere and Gianluca Scamacca to their frontline, while Ademola Lookman, Duvan Zapata, and Luis Muriel are still in town.

AUGUST 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Charles De Ketelaere - Moves to Atalanta De Ketelaere is officially headed to Atalanta on a season-long loan with an option to buy from Milan.

Impact De Ketelaere will be offered to bounce back in a different Italian side after struggling to emerge with Milan. He quickly ceded the starting job to Brahim Diaz and failed to score in 38 appearances (12 starts). He posted 23 shots (five on target), 20 chances created, and 13 crosses (one accurate). He had fared much better at Club Brugge. He'll split time primarily with Mario Pasalic and Ederson.

AUGUST 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Rafael Toloi - Recovering from injury Toloi missed multiple friendlies due to a thigh problem, Tuttomercatoweb informs.

Impact Toloi has been dealing with the issue for a couple of weeks. Coach Gian Piero Gasperini was noncommittal about his availability for the opener versus Sassuolo after the most recent preseason game against Juventus. Sead Kolasinac and Caleb Okoli would fill in if he wasn't fit enough to start or play.
