Juan Musso - Beaten twice by Salernitana Musso recorded no saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 8-2 victory against Salernitana.

He has posted two inaccurate crosses, 15 tackles (11 won), and seven interceptions in the last five matches.

Impact Zapata collected a point despite seeing little action by combining with Nadir Zortea in the box for the final goal of the game. His minutes might dwindle with Rasmus Hojlund and Jeremie Boga in way better form. He has been held scoreless in the past four, posting seven shots (one on target), three chances created, and five crosses (one accurate). Atalanta will visit Juventus Sunday.

Nadir Zortea - Scores versus Salernitana Zortea scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 8-2 victory versus Salernitana.
Impact Zortea made a rare appearance as the game had long been decided, and he fully exploited with a rather technical finish in the box after gliding between two opponents. He has to compete for minutes with Hans Hateboer and Davide Zappacosta, who just picked up another muscular injury. He has recorded four shots (three on target), three chances, ten crosses (one accurate), and ten tackles in nine matches (one start).

Atalanta will visit Juventus Sunday.

Ademola Lookman - Dominent versus Salernitana Lookman scored two goals and assisted once from four shots and two chances created in Sunday's 8-2 victory versus Salernitana.
Impact Lookman was the most productive among Atalanta strikers in the historic romp, as he hit the net twice, with a PK and with a pearler from distance, and added an assist for good measure. He quickly bounced back after oddly not seeing minutes in the previous tilt following a subpar showing versus Spezia. He's now up to eight goals and two helpers in 17 appearances, with 30 shots (14 on target), and 21 chances created. Atalanta will visit Juventus Sunday.

Luis Muriel - Unused versus Salernitana Muriel (heel) didn't play in Sunday's 8-2 win over Salernitana.
Impact Muriel was available after a nagging injury, but the coach preferred different options. He'll have trouble playing regularly from here on out with Rasmus Hojlund blossoming, Jeremie Boga resurfacing in recent matches, and Ademola Lookman being a consistent scorer.

Impact Zappacosta has looked decent after healing from a major thigh injury during the break, but he picked up a new issue in the same area. He'll take some tests in short order. He was replaced by Nadir Zortea in this game, which had already gotten out of hand. Hans Hateboer, Joakim Maehle, and Brandon Soppy have generally seen minutes on the flanks during his previous absences, while Matteo Ruggeri has emerged in recent tilts.

Jose Luis Palomino - Busy versus Bologna Palomino won seven duels and one of two tackles and had four interceptions and five clearnaces in Monday's 2-1 win over Bologna.

He'll have to compete with Merih Demiral going forward, as the teammate returned from a knee injury. He has tallied eight tackles, 11 interceptions, nine clearances, and one block in three matches this season.
JANUARY 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Giorgio Scalvini - Posts five interceptions in Bologna tilt Scalvini had one tackle (one won), three clearances and five interceptions in Monday's 2-1 win against Bologna.

He has logged eight tackles (five won), ten interceptions, four clearances, and two blocks in the last five starts, with no clean sheets.

He has collected five three chances created, 14 crosses (six accurate), nine tackles, and nine interceptions in six appearances (three starts).

Jeremie Boga - Provides two assists versus Bolgona Boga drew two fouls and assisted twice to go with one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in 45 minutes in Monday's 2-1 victory against Bologna.
Impact Boga hadn't seen good minutes in ages, but he made the difference once subbing it, slipping to Teun Koopmeiners ahead of the equalizer and then slicing the defense before setting up Rasmus Holjund's game-winner with a timely through ball. The strong showing should help him play more from here on out, at least as a super-sub, but there's no shortage of competition. He hadn't collected points prior to this game. He's now up to five chances created, four inaccurate crosses, and one shot on target in seven appearances off the bench.
