APRIL 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Duvan Zapata - Unused against Napoli Zapata (thigh) did not feature in Sunday's 1-3 loss to Napoli.
Impact Zapata was part of the game-day squad list, but he trained too little to really be an option. The club plans to bring him along slowly following two thigh injuries, so it could be a while before he is a real factor. Atalanta will visit Sassuolo next Sunday.
APRIL 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Aleksey Miranchuk - Provides assist against Napoli Miranchuk (thigh) sent in four crosses (three accurate), created two scoring opportunities and picked up an assist in 45 minutes in Sunday's 1-3 loss to Napoli.

APRIL 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Juan Musso - Allows three goals in Napoli game Musso had two saves and surrendered three goals in Sunday's 1-3 loss to Napoli.

APRIL 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Duvan Zapata - Called up for Napoli clash Zapata (thigh) has been named in Atalanta's squad list for Sunday's match versus Napoli.

The coaching staff is set to ease into action, but his return will affect Luis Muriel and Jeremie Boga's minutes. He has scored 12 goals, provided seven assists and tallied 77 shots and 31 chances in 23 seasonal appearances.
APRIL 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Rafael Toloi - Still absent Toloi (thigh) was not named in Atalanta's squad list to face Napoli Sunday.
Impact Toloi will remain sidelined through the break because of a thigh strain and never practiced in the last couple of weeks, so he could easily miss further matches. Merih Demiral, Jose Luis Palomino, Berat Djimsiti and Giogio Scalvini are the top options in the back without Toloi.
APRIL 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jeremie Boga - Shakes off injury Boga (knee) returned to full training Tuesday, Atalanta announced.
Impact Boga missed the previous game and international duties due to knee soreness, but he was able to shake it off after a week of limited work.

MARCH 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Aleksey Miranchuk - Returns to full practice Miranchuk (thigh) was a full-go in training Wednesday, Atalanta informed.

He will be available for the game versus Napoli after the break, but he generally serves a backup role. He has logged two goals, five assists, 11 shots and 19 chances in 18 appearances (6 starts).
MARCH 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Ruslan Malinovskyi - Shakes off illness Malinovskyi returned to full practice Wednesday, Atalanta announced.

MARCH 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Duvan Zapata - Progressing in rehab Zapata is recovering at a clinic in Sevilla, but the latest check-ups were positive and he should resume training in late March, director Roberto Spagnolo informed.

MARCH 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Abraham nets 2 as Roma sweeps aside Lazio 3-0 in derby
Tammy Abraham has established himself further as a fan’s favorite with two goals as Roma swept aside Lazio 3-0 in the capital derby in Serie AMARCH 20, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Merih Demiral - Logs six interceptions in victory Demiral had one shot, one block, six interceptions, two takcles, one foul and sustainted one foul in the 1-0 victory over Bologna on Sunday.
Impact For most of this match, it was a showdown between the defenses. Defenders like Demiral made sure that Bologna couldn't score, but also that they struggled to maintain possession. The defender seems to be an automatic tackle and interception machine, shutting down opposing sides constantly. He will be needed in the tough match coming up against Napoli.
MARCH 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Hans Hateboer - Plays well on offense and defense Hateboer had two shots (both off target), four crosses, thre interceptions, three tackles, created one chance and sustained one foul in the 1-0 victory over Bologna on Sunday.
Impact Though he couldn't make anything happen on offense, Hateboer played very aggressively on defense. The defender is usually good for a tackle or two, but his crosses have been slumping in recent appearances. He will need to make sure he is firing on all cylinders if his side hopes to stand a chance against Napoli in the next match.
MARCH 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Teun Koopmeiners - Sets up for crosses Koopmeiners had one shot, four crosses, one block, two fouls and created two chances in the 1-0 victory over Bologna on Sunday.
Impact The winning goal didn't come until the 82nd minute, and prior to that, players like Koopmeiner did what they could to try and beat the keeper. The midfielder is normally an aggressive crosser, but in his last two appearances he had none. Hopefully he has gotten over that drought and will be ready to add a few more in the next match against Napoli.
MARCH 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Marten De Roon - Plays well at both ends De Roon had three shots (one on goal), five interceptions, two tackles and one foul in the 1-0 victory over Bologna on Sunday.
Impact As his side pushed as hard as they could to find the net, De Roon did everything he could to make sure and retain possession as much as possible. The defender does not usually shoot so much, but he does often have this many interceptions. While it will be a challenge, hopefully he can repeat this performance in the next match against Napoli.
MARCH 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Mario Pasalic - Assists teammate against Bologna Pasalic had one assist, one tackle and created one chance in the 1-0 victory over Bologna on Sunday.
Impact While he only played for the final 20 minutes of the match, that time was what made a difference for his side. Finding Moustapha Elhadji Cisse in the 82nd minute for a goal was the deciding factor in this victory. The forward has had inconsistent playing time lately, and it is unlikely he will make an appearance in the next match against Napoli.
MARCH 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Moustapha Cisse - Scores winning goal Cisse had one goal on one shot, two fouls and sustained one foul in the 1-0 victory over Bologna on Sunday.
Impact After subbing on in the 65th minute, Cisse scored the only goal of the match in the 82nd minute thanks to the assist from Mario Paslic. This was the forward's first appearance ever as a professional footballer, and what a way to mark the occasion. It is unlikely he will play in the next match against Napoli.
MARCH 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Juan Musso - Makes three saves in clean sheet Musso had three saves and conceded no goals in the 1-0 victory over Bologna on Sunday.
Impact Though Bologna put a stong fight, it was nothing that Musso couldn't handle. This was the second consecutive clean sheet for the keeper, and his fouth in his last six appearances. Though it may be tough, he may be able to get another in the next match against Napoli.
MARCH 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jeremie Boga - Unavailable versus Bologna Boga is not part of the traveling party for Sunday's match versus Bologna, Sky Italy reports.
Impact Boga is nursing knee soreness and has been ruled out for this one. Luis Muriel, Teun Koopmeiners, Matteo Pessina and Mario Pasalic will lead the Atalanta frontline Sunday.
