He hasn't scored in four games, where he has logged one assist, three shots (all on goal), six chances created, and two crosses (one accurate). Atalanta will host Udinese Saturday.

Impact Despite the upset loss to Lecce, Hojlund was not to blame, considering he scored Atalanta's only goal and wasn't responsible for the multiple concessions. The in-form striker has five goals across his first eight Serie A appearances of 2023, an excellent rate.

Mario Pasalic - Out again for Lecce game Pasalic (ankle) didn't make Atalanta's squad list to face Lecce Sunday.

Impact Pasalic reportedly tried to give it a go, but he will ultimately sit out the second match in a row. Atalanta will be thin in the midfield since Marten De Roon is suspended. They could go with a more aggressive scheme featuring Jeremie Boga, or adapt Joakim Maehle to the position, as he has occasionally done.

FEBRUARY 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Duvan Zapata - Suffers new injury Zapata sustained a grade-one strain of the semimembranous muscle of the right thigh, Tuttomercatoweb informs.

Impact Zapata will have to sit out three-to-four weeks with his latest physical problem. Rasmus Hojlund has thoroughly supplanted him at this point, and Luis Muriel will serve as the deputy while he recovers.

Hans Hateboer - Diagnosed with ACL tear Hateboer will undergo right knee surgery to reconstruct a torn ACL, Atalanta announced.

Impact Hateboer will miss the rest of the season and will try to be available for the start of the next one, as the timetable varies from case to case. Davide Zappacosta, Joakim Maehle, Matteo Ruggeri, and Brandon Soppy will man the flanks from here on out.

FEBRUARY 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Luis Muriel - Eligible for Lecce contest Muriel completed a one-game disqualification in Saturday's 2-0 win over Lecce.

Impact Muriel got the standard punishment for berating the referee in the previous match and will be back into the fold next Sunday, but Ademola Lookman and Jeremie Boga have clearly supplanted him in the offensive pecking order. He has played just 57 minutes in his last four appearances, tallying three off-target shots, two chances created, and four inaccurate crosses.

FEBRUARY 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Joakim Maehle - Will return versus Lecce Maehle cleared his one-game suspension in Saturday's 2-0 win over Lazio.

FEBRUARY 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Juan Musso - Keeps clean sheet in Lazio game Musso registered five saves, one clearance, and one accurate keeper-sweeper, and secured a clean sheet in Saturday's 2-0 win versus Lazio.

Impact Musso extended his streak of excellent showings and had an incredible one-handed save on a thunderous shot by Mattia Zaccagni to protect the lead late in the first half. He has blanked the opponents twice in the last six matches, allowing seven goals and making 22 saves. Atalanta will host Lecce next Sunday.

FEBRUARY 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Giorgio Scalvini - Picks up fifth yellow card against Lazio Scalvini won one duel, drew two fouls, and had four clearances and two interceptions in Saturday's 2-0 victory against Lazio.

Impact Scalvini was solid but not overly busy in the shutout win. He'll have to sit one game due to yellow-card accumulation. Jose Luis Palomino or Merih Demiral will replace him in the back versus Lecce next Sunday.
