Davide Zappacosta - Subs off early versus Roma Zappacosta left Saturday's 0-1 loss to Roma after just 21 minutes due to an eyesight issue, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs.
Ruslan Malinovskyi - Called up for Roma clash Malinovskyi (calf) has been named in Atalanta's squad list to face Roma Saturday.
Impact Malinovskyi is not in peak shape, but he has not ruled out in advance and therefore he could have the opportunity to log at least a few minutes. He scored three times and added ten shots, four chances and seven crosses in the last four matches.

Ruslan Malinovskyi - In serious doubt for Roma clash Malinovskyi escaped without serious calf issues, but he has not practiced fully in the lead-up of Saturday's match versus Roma, Prima Bergamo informs.
Impact Malinovskyi took some tests that came back clean, but he might end up missing some time to avoid more serious issues. Atalanta replenished their offensive depths last week with the returns of Luis Muriel and Aleksey Miranchuk, who re-joined Jeremie Boga, Mario Pasalic, Matteo Pessina and Teun Koopmeiners.

Hans Hateboer - Pretty good against Sampdoria Hateboer took three off-target shots, sent in three crosses (one accurate), created two scoring chances and won five duels in Monday's 4-0 win over Samporia.
Impact Hateboer was not super precise, but he put together his best line in a while and seems to have surpassed Joakim Maehle and Giuseppe Pezzella in the pecking order lately. He has tallied eight shots, seven chances, 17 crosses and 12 tackles in nine Serie A games (six starts). Atalanta will face Roma away Saturday.
MARCH 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Rafael Toloi - Suspended for Roma clash Toloi took two off-target shots, won one of two tackles and dive duels and had one block in Monday's 4-0 win over Sampdoria and will miss one game due to yellow-card accumulation.
Impact Toloi had just a low-end line in this one and was booked for a silly foul when the game was already sealed. Berat Djimsiti and Merih Demiral will be available for Saturday's away game versus Roma and will likely be joined by Jose Luis Palomino in the back.
MARCH 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Marten De Roon - Logs four interceptions versus Sampdoria De Roon took two off-target shots, had four interceptions and won two of four tackles and six duels in Monday's 4-0 win over Sampdoria.

MARCH 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Remo Freuler - Tees up two teammates in Sampdoria rout Freuler sent in four crosses (one accurate), created two scoring chances, had five interceptions and provided two assists in Monday's 4-0 win over Sampdoria.

It is his first assist of the season, while he has scored twice. He has notched five shots, six chances, three crosses and four tackles in the last six Serie A matches. Atalanta will face Roma away Saturday.
MARCH 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Mario Pasalic - Finds target against Sampdoria Pasalic took three shots (one on target), created three chances, won one of two tackles and scored a goal in Monday's 4-0 win over Sampdoria.
Impact Pasalic returned to the stat-sheet after nearly a month with an easy header from close range in the first few minutes of the game. He is now up to nine goals in the season, but he has found the target just twice in 2022. He had not contributed much to the offense in the last few Serie A matches, so perhaps this goal will get him going. Atalanta will face Roma away Saturday.

Impact Koopeminers once again put up great numbers as he paced his team in crosses and co-led it chances and, more importantly, he hit the net twice with technical shots from mid-range. Atalanta are getting some pieces back but he has likely performed well enough to continue having a consistent role. He has logged eight shots, ten chances and 21 crosses in the last five Serie A appearances. Atalanta will face Roma away Saturday.
MARCH 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jeremie Boga - Fires two shots versus Sampdoria Boga sent in one accurate cross, had two successful take-ons, won three duels and took two shots on target in Monday's 4-0 win over Sampdoria.

He will face increased competition for minutes since Luis Muriel and Aleksey Miranchuk have shaken off their injuries. He has notched one assist, eight shots, five chanes and two crosses in six matches since joining Atalanta. They will face Roma away Saturday.
MARCH 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

MARCH 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jose Luis Palomino - Excellent in return from injury Palomino (thigh) had four interceptions and one clearance and won four of six tackles and seven duels in Monday's 4-0 win over Sampdoria.
Impact Palomino showed no signs of rust after missing a couple of matches and contributed to the clean sheet with a rugged performance. He has posted 65 tackles, 78 interceptions and 65 clearances and 20 blocks in 27 games, with seven clean sheets.

He is now up to two goals and five assists in the season, plus he has added 11 shots, 18 chances and ten crosses in 16 appearances (five starts). Atalanta will face Roma away Saturday.
MARCH 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

MARCH 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Ruslan Malinovskyi - Late scratch Monday Malinovskyi was a late scratch for Monday's match against Sampdoria because of a possible muscle strain.
Impact Mario Pasalic came into the XI for Malinovskyi on Monday, though the team didn't officially announce an update before the match. It's a tough break for Malinovskyi, who is from Ukraine and was looking to repeat his last performance, two goals in the Europa League win against Olympiacos.
FEBRUARY 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Aleksey Miranchuk - On bench Monday Miranchuk (thigh) will be available as a substitute versus Sampdoria on Monday, power SkySports.
Impact Miranchuk is back in the squad following a five-game stint due to his thigh problem. Considering the attacking midfielder has started just five of his 15 appearances for the club this year, fantasy players shouldn't be banking on him featuring in the starting XI with any consistency moving forward.
FEBRUARY 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jose Luis Palomino - Starting against Sampdoria Palomino (thigh) will feature in the starting XI versus Sampdoria on Monday.
Impact Palomino returns having missed the club's previous four contests due to his thigh problem. Prior to his absence, the central defender registered one goal on one shot, 18 interceptions and 16 clearances. Given his dependence on defensive stats, Palomino shouldn't be expected to offer more than mid-range fantasy value at best.
FEBRUARY 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Aleksey Miranchuk - Late call for Sampdoria tilt Miranchuk (thigh) has practiced somewhat regularly in the lead-up of Monday's match versus Sampdoria, Tuttomercatoweb informs.
Impact Miranchuk has missed nearly a month with a thigh strain. He generally has a bench role even when fully healthy. He has tallied one goal, three assists, ten shots and 17 chances in 15 appearances (five starts) thus far.
FEBRUARY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Luis Muriel - Questionable for Sampdoria match Muriel (thigh) has been able to train partially with the rest of the team Sunday, Tuttomercatoweb informs.
Impact Muriel has a chance to be an option after missing the last two matches due to a thigh injury, although it is possible the coaching staff will ease him back. He has scored twice and added 13 shots, ten chances and 19 crosses in the last five appearances. His return would mostly impact Jeremie Boga.
FEBRUARY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jose Luis Palomino - Could be back versus Sampdoria Palomino (thigh) has trained with the rest of the group Sunday and has a shot to be available Monday versus Salernitana, Tuttomercatoweb informs.
Impact Palomino has missed multiple matches with a thigh strain but could be back sooner than expected. He might even start right away since Atalanta will be without Berat Djimsiti and Merih Demiral in this one. He has posted 79 tackles, 74 interceptions and 64 clearances in 26 matches thus far.
