Ruslan Malinovskyi - Ruled out for Sunday match Malinovskyi (stomach bug) was not named in the squad list to face Bologna Sunday.
Aleksey Miranchuk - Will stay out for Bologna game Miranchuk (thigh) did not travel to Bologna with the rest of the team, Sky Italy informs.
Impact Miranchuk will miss the second straight game because of a thigh contracture. He should be able to shake it off during the break. Luis Muriel, Teun Koopmeiners and Mario Pasalic will be the top options for Atalanta in this one considering the multiple absences.
MARCH 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jeremie Boga - Doubtful against Bologna Boga suffered a knee injury in the final practice of the week and might not be an option for Sunday's match versus Bologna, Sky Italy reports.
Impact Boga could have relieved Luis Muriel in this one, but he picked up an injury and the starter will likely get the nod even if the teammates recovered enough to be an option.
MARCH 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Ruslan Malinovskyi - Might miss Bologna game Malinovskyi is in serious doubt for Sunday's match versus Bologna due to a stomach bug, Sky Italy reports.
Impact Malinovskyi dealt with the illness also versus Bayer Leverkusen midweek, and might be outright excluded for this one, the publication informs. Mario Pasalic or Matteo Pessina would get the nod as no.10 if Malinovsky was indeed unavailable.
MARCH 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Rafael Toloi - Might miss time after the break Toloi has been diagnosed with a grade one flexor strain in the right thigh after getting hurt against Bayer Leverkusen, Sky Italy reports.
Impact Toloi will try to get healthy during the break, however it could take up to a month from him to heal depending on how the rehab goes. Merih Demiral, Jose Luis Palomino and Berat Djimsiti will be the top options in the back while Toloi is out, and Giorgio Scalvini will be the main backup.
MARCH 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Rafael Toloi - Forced off with hamstring issue Toloi was forced off in the first half of Thursday's Europa League match with Leverkusen.
Impact Toloi pulled up lame and was carried off the pitch, but did walk to the treatment room under his own power. While the weekend trip to Bologna is likely going to come too soon for the defender, more information should be available following the conclusion of Thursday's match.
MARCH 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Matteo Pessina - Rare block tally Saturday Pessina logged two blocks during a 0-0 draw Sunday versus Genoa.
Impact Pessina logged the Atalanta team's best block tally. However, fantasy managers should not expect him to do that regularly. He recorded only one block across his previous 19 Serie A appearances. Fundamentally, Pessina is not someone who has upside defensively.
MARCH 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Marco Sportiello - Starts, maintains clean sheet Sportiello maintained the clean sheet across 90 minutes during a 0-0 draw Sunday versus Genoa.
Impact Sportiello started in place of a healthy Juan Musso, presumably because the opposing Genoa team logged only one win across its previous 28 domestic-league games. The backup goalkeeper was able to record his first Serie A clean sheet this year.
MARCH 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Marten De Roon - Will return in Bologna game De Roon is available for Sunday's away versus Bologna after sitting out one match due to a red card.
Impact De Roon should be back in the XI unless the coach decides to manage him following the midweek bout with Bayer Leverkusen in Europa League. He could substitute Mario Pasalic or Teun Koopmeiners in the XI. He has logged three crosses, six tackles, ten interceptions and seven clearances in the last five matches.
MARCH 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Davide Zappacosta - Suspended for Bologna game Zappacosta sent in three inaccurate crosses, drew one foul and picked up the fifth yellow card in Sunday's 0-0 draw with Bologna.
Impact Zappacosta had a subdued performance and will have to sit out one game due to yellow-card accumulation. Either Giuseppe Pezzella or Joakim Maehle will man the left flank in Sunday's away game versus Bologna.
MARCH 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jose Luis Palomino - Six interceptions vs. Genoa Palomino logged six interceptions during a 0-0 draw Sunday versus Genoa.
Impact Palomino logged his second-best interception tally of the ongoing Serie A. Coincidentally, Palomino's best was against Genoa as well. He has 13 interceptions across two Atalanta-Genoa game appearances. Though the matchup will not happen again this season, Palomino's most recent interception tally indicates his great upside against bad Serie A teams.
MARCH 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Aleksey Miranchuk - Ruled out for Genoa match Miranchuk (undisclosed) was not named in Atalanta's squad list to face Genoa Sunday.
Impact Miranchuk could have gotten a shot in this one amid some rotation, but he picked up an unspecified physical problem in the lead-up of the game. Two among Ruslan Malinovskyi, Jeremie Boga, Marco Pasalic and Matteo Pessina will get the start in a supporting role Sunday.
MARCH 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Davide Zappacosta - Features in Europa League Zappacosta (eye) got the start in Thursday's 3-2 win over Bayer Leverkusen in Europa League.
Impact Zappacosta bowed out early against Roma, but the problem did not linger. He will be in the mix to start Sunday versus Genoa, although the coach might opt for some rotation considering the busy schedule. Giuseppe Pezzella and Joakim Maehle are the alternatives on the flanks. Zappacosta has logged four shots, four chances and three crosses in the last five appearances.

Jose Luis Palomino - Energetic against Roma Palomino won ten duels and one of three tackles and had one block and two interceptions in Saturday's 0-1 loss to Roma.
Impact Palomino filled the stat-sheet in the back, but he could not stop the opponents from scoring in this one. He has logged 52 tackles, 67 interceptions, 52 clearances and 16 blocks in 23 Serie A matches, with seven clean sheets. Atalanta will host Genoa next Sunday.
MARCH 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Hans Hateboer - Swings in five crosses versus Roma Hateboer sent in five crosses (one accurate), created one scoring chance, won two of two tackles and had one block in Saturday's 0-1 loss to Roma.
Impact Hateboer was not very precise but continued his run of fairly productive outings on both ends of the pitch. He has logged six shots, four chances, ten crosses and three tackles in the last five appearances. Atalanta will host Genoa next Sunday.
MARCH 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Teun Koopmeiners - Quiet against Roma Koopmeiners took one off-target shot, sent in two inaccurate crosses, created one scoring chance and drew one foul in Saturday's 0-1 loss to Roma.
Impact Koopmeiners put together a low-end stat-line like most of his teammates in this one, but he still contributed across the board. He has registered two goals, two assists, ten chances and 22 crosses in the last five appearances. Atalanta will host Genoa next Sunday.
MARCH 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Aleksey Miranchuk - Draws four fouls versus Roma Miranchuk had four successful take-ons, won ten duels, drew four fouls and was dispossessed four times in Saturday's 0-1 loss to Roma.
Impact Miranchuk was given a rare start after faring well in the previous game and, while he was pretty energetic, he did not manage to contribute in the key areas. He will split time with Jeremie Boga going forward. He has logged two goals, four assists, ten shots and 18 chances in 15 Serie A games (six starts). Atalanta will host Genoa next Sunday.
MARCH 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Luis Muriel - Delivers three crosses against Roma Muriel created two scoring chances, sent in three crosses (one accurate), won two duels and drew one foul in 45 minutes in Saturday's 0-1 loss to Roma.
Impact Muriel was the first man off the bench at half-time and was fairly effective in an off-game for his side, even though he did not manage to take a shot. He resumed seeing minutes after an injury and has good chances to be back in the XI in the next match. He tallied four shots, four assists, 33 shots and 26 chances in 18 Serie A games (ten starts). Atalanta will host Genoa next Sunday.
MARCH 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jeremie Boga - Wins three duels against Roma Boga drew one foul, had two successful take-ons, won three duels and was dispossessed once 30 minutes in Saturday's 0-1 loss to Roma.
Impact Boga was used off the bench in this one and, while he was sprightly, he did not pick up stats in the key categories. He will be in contention primarily with Aleksey Miranchuk and Matteo Pessina in next Sunday's home game against Genoa. He has tallied one assist, four shots, two chances and two crosses in the last five matches.
MARCH 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Ruslan Malinovskyi - Comes off bench in Roma clash Malinovskyi (calf) took one shot on target, drew one foul, had three successful take-ons and won four duels in 30 minutes in Saturday's 0-1 loss to Roma.
Impact Malinovskyi looked fine despite dealing with a calf problem, but he could not propel his team to a tie. He has strong chances to resume starting in next Sunday's home game versus Genoa. He has logged three goals, 11 shots, three chances and seven crosses in the last five appearances.
MARCH 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Rafael Toloi - Clears suspension Toloi served his one-game ban in Satuday's 0-1 loss to Atalanta.
Impact Toloi had to sit out one due to yellow-card accumulation. He will return to the XI in next Sunday's home game versus Genoa, likely replacing the suspended Morten De Roon, with Atalanta going back to their usual scheme. He has posted six tackles, six interceptions and four clearances in the last five appearances, with one clean sheet.
MARCH 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Juan Musso - Concedes once against Roma Musso had three saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 0-1 loss to Roma.
Impact Musso could not catch Tammy Abraham's point-blank attempt and had a relatively quiet game otherwise. He has surrendered 27 goals, made 55 saves and kept seven clean sheets in 24 matches. Atalanta will host Genoa next Sunday.

Marten De Roon - Sees red in Roma clash De Roon won two of two tackles, had one clearance, sent in one inaccurate cross and was sent off in Saturday's 0-1 loss to Roma.
Impact De Roon did not have a particularly impressive game and was expelled because he protested too much after getting booked. He will miss next Sunday's home game against Genoa, where Teun Koopmeiners will move a few meters back, opening an offensive spot for one of their attackers.
