Merih Demiral - Unused versus Lecce Demiral (knee) didn't play in Wednesday's 1-2 loss to Lecce.

Impact Demiral was completely rested in this one, probably more to spare some energy than because of a small knee problem. Unless it's more significant than imagined, he'll be back in the XI for Sunday's home game versus Inter. He has logged 17 tackles (11 won), four interceptions, 14 clearances, and four blocks in the last five appearances, contributing to one clean sheet.

Marco Sportiello - Allows two goals against Lecce Sportiello had one save and one accurate-keeper sweeper and conceded twice in Wednesday's 1-2 loss to Lecce

Impact Sportiello relieved the starter Juan Musso in the midweek round, but he couldn't do much on the two goals by Federico Baschirotto and Federico Di Francesco, which came from point-blank range. He'll head back to the bench in Sunday's home clash with Inter.

Merih Demiral - On bench against Lecce Demiral (knee) made the bench for Wednesday's match against Lecce.

Impact Even if he's on the bench, Demiral may not be fit enough to play due to a small knee issue. In his place, Berat Djimsiti, Caleb Okoli and Matteo Ruggeri are starting at center-back in Wednesday's game.

Merih Demiral - Might be spared versus Lecce Demiral "has a small knee problem and could rest against Lecce," coach Gian Piero Gasperini announced.

Impact Demiral will be an option as he will travel with the team, but the gaffer could give the nod to either Caleb Okoli or Berat Djimisit, considering his imperfect conditions and the short turnaround.

Jose Luis Palomino - Called up but unlikely to play Palomino will be part of the squad list for the last two matches of the year, but he probably won't feature, coach Gian Piero Gasperini announced.

Impact Palomino practiced on his own during the suspension for doping-related charges, and so he needs a ramp-up before being able to play. He'll stay close to the team, but he'll be fielded only in an emergency situation.

Jose Luis Palomino - Gets acquitted by court Palomino has been cleared of all charges by the sports antidoping court, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs.

Impact Palomino tested positive for a banned substance during the summer and managed to prove he was innocent, although the reasons behind the acquittal will be disclosed at a later date. He's technically already at his coach's disposal, but it remains to be seen in which kind of shape he is.

Rafael Toloi - Logs three interceptions versus Napoli Toloi had three interceptions and one clearance and won four duels and one of two tackles in Saturday's 1-2 loss versus Napoli.

Impact Toloi turned in a solid shift, but Napoli found a way to hit the net twice anyway. He has notched 20 tackles, 21 interceptions, 25 clearances, and eight blocks in ten matches, scoring once and contributing to four clean sheets.

Merih Demiral - Piles up stats against Napoli Demiral won four of five tackles and nine duels, had one interception, and drew one foul in Saturday's 1-2 defeat to Napoli.

Impact Demiral was extra busy and physical in the back and, while he prevailed in a bunch of duels, Victor Osimhen outmuscled him on the run before setting up the second and deciding goal for his side. He has registered 17 tackles (11 won), four interceptions, 14 clearances, and four blocks in the last five matches, with one clean sheet.

NOVEMBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Joakim Maehle - Energetic in Napoli game Maehle logged two interceptions and had two shots (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate), and two chances created in Saturday's 1-2 defeat versus Napoli.

Impact Maehle did a little bit of everything despite the loss, especially in the final third, and seems to have gained some separation on Brandon Soppy, which wasn't the case in the first few weeks of the season. He has recorded six shots (one on target), five chances created, six crosses (two accurate), and seven tackles (three won) in the last five games (four starts). Atalanta will face Lecce away Wednesday.

NOVEMBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ederson - Gritty against Napoli Ederson won eight duels and three of six tackles, created two scoring chances, and drew one foul in Saturday's 1-2 loss to Napoli.

Impact Ederson got the nod with Marten De Roon not in great shape, and he worked very hard in the midfield, although it wasn't enough to prevent the opponents from bagging two goals. He hs recorded five shots (one on target), three chances created, nine tackles (six won), and five interceptions in the last five appearances.

NOVEMBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Rasmus Hojlund - Misfires versus Napoli Hojlund had three shots (one on goal), won one duel, and was dispossessed once in Saturday's 1-2 loss against Napoli.

Impact Hojlund got another opportunity to start with Luis Muriel out with a thigh problem, but he squandered a pair of juicy opportunities from inside the box. Duvan Zapata might supplant him for one of the next two matches. He has tallied eight shots (three on target) and three chances created in the last five appearances.

NOVEMBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Teun Koopmeiners - Swings in six crosses in Napoli clash Koopmeiners won four duels and had two shots (zero on goal), six crosses (two accurate), and five corners in Saturday's 1-2 defeat to Napoli.

Impact Koopmeiners had a pretty good showing and led his side in crosses, but he apparently relinquished PK duties to Ademola Lookman, which dents his season-long outlook. He has recorded seven shots (two on target), six chances created, 24 crosses (seven accurate), and six tackles (four won) in the last five games. Atalanta will face Lecce away Wednesday.

NOVEMBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ademola Lookman - Buries PK against Napoli Lookman scored one goal to go with four shots (two on target), one cross (one accurate), and two chances created in Saturday's 1-2 loss against Napoli.

Impact Lookman took over penalty kick duties after Teun Koopmeiners missed one in the past game, and he converted in style in the top corner for his sixth goal of the season, with five coming in the last six fixtures. He also led his team in attempts. He has logged 13 shots (six on target), eight chances created, and seven crosses in the last five matches. Atalanta will face Lecce away Wednesday.

NOVEMBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Marten De Roon - Comes off bench versus Napoli De Roon (thigh) had eight passes in nine minutes in Saturday's 1-2 loss to Atalanta.

Impact De Roon recovered quickly from a thigh problem, but he wasn't rushed back and only saw limited action. He will likely return to the XI, over either Ederson or Mario Pasalic, in one of the next two games. He has registered one assist, three chances created, 22 tackles, and 13 interceptions in 12 matches today.

NOVEMBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Juan Musso - Beaten twice by Napoli Musso had three saves and conceded twice in Saturday's 1-2 loss to Napoli.

Impact Musso could do little on the two goals, but he put his hands on a few shots on target. He has allowed five goals, made 22 saves, and kept four clean sheets in nine appearances this season. Atalanta will face Lecce away Wednesday.

Marten De Roon - Good to go for Napoli clash De Roon (thigh) will be called up for Satuday's match versus Empoli, coach Gian Piero Gasperini informed.

Impact De Roon will miss just one game due to a thigh problem, although the coach was non-committal about starting him right away. Giorgio Scalvini and Ederson would be the alternative options if he didn't get the nod. He has logged three inaccurate crosses, 12 tackles (nine won), two interceptions, and 12 clearances in the last five matches.

Luis Muriel - Suffers thigh injury Muriel sustained a partial lesion of the tendon of the adductor muscle in the right thigh, Atalanta announced.

Impact Muriel will miss the next three matches before the break and shouldn't have trouble returning in January, although the injury is significant. Rasmus Hojlund and Duvan Zapata will likely split up his minutes in relief, but the coach could also occasionally go with a false nine, either Mario Pasalic or Ederson, against menacing sides.

Rafael Toloi - Fares well versus Empoli Toloi (thigh) won two of three tackles and had two interceptions, one clearance, and two blocks in Saturday's 2-0 win over Empoli.

Impact Toloi didn't skip a beat despite spending three matches on the mend with a thigh strain and contributed to the clean sheet with an all-around defensive showing. He has recorded one goal, 18 tackles, 18 interceptions, 24 clearances and eight blocks in nine matches.

Luis Muriel - Clears suspension Muriel served his one-game ban in Saturday's 2-0 win over Empoli.

Impact Muriel will be eligible to play and likely start in Saturday's home clash versus Napoli. He has logged one goal, two assists, six shots (two on target), and nine chances created in the last five games.
