Aleksey Miranchuk - Picks up injury in Lazio game Miranchuk took two shots (one on target), won one tackle, drew one foul, won five duels and subbed off with a thigh injury in Saturday's 0-0 draw with Atalanta, coach Gian Piero Ga...

Impact Miranchuk had a major role since Atalanta were down multiple attackers, and he came close to scoring with a lefty curled shot in the second half, which barely missed the mark. He will be assessed during the upcoming break. Atalanta will face Cagliari at home on February 6th.

Davide Zappacosta - Delivers two crosses in Lazio game Zappacosta won one of two tackles, created one scoring chance, had three successful take-ons and sent in two crosses in Saturday's 0-0 draw with Lazio.

Impact Zappacosta drew the start in this one, but he has not been particularly effective in a while after a strong couple of matches to finish 2021. He has logged three chances, seven crosses and six tackles in the last five appearances. Atalanta will face Cagliari at home on February 6th.

Juan Musso - Makes one save in goalless draw Musso had one save while blanking Lazio in Saturday's 0-0 draw.

Rafael Toloi - Makes bench Saturday Toloi (COVID-19) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Lazio.

Impact Toloi is healthy enough to make the bench Saturday, as he's probably lacking fitness following a bout with COVID-19. He may be used off the bench, but Atalanta have a full set of regular defenders in the starting XI, so he may not be risked if not completely ready.

Mario Pasalic - Doubtful for Lazio tilt Pasalic could miss Saturday's match against Lazio as Atalanta had few COVID-19 cases Friday, La Gazzetta dello Sport reports.

Impact Pasalic is reportedly among the players that contracted Coronavirus, although the team has yet to officially confirm it. With Ruslan Malinovskyi and Josip Ilicic likely to be unavailable as well, Aleksey Miranchuk could get a spot start Saturday.

Luis Muriel - Might miss Lazio game Muriel might be scratched for Saturday's match versus Lazio as he is rumored to be one of the few Atalanta players that tested positive for COVID-19 Friday, La Gazzetta dello Sport...

Impact Muriel will likely take further swabs before the game to confirm it. Atalanta would be depleted if he was out as well since Duvan Zapata has not recovered from a thigh injury. The only striker available would be Roberto Piccoli.

Duvan Zapata - Headed for another absence Zapata (thigh) has not returned to full practice in the lead-up of the Inter game and will most likely remain sidelined, La Gazzetta dello Sport reports.

Impact Zapata is set to miss the third straight game barring a late turnaround and will be given time to heal in the upcoming break. Luis Muriel is primed to once again lead the Atalanta frontline and he has been serviceable, although not as consistent as Zapata.

JANUARY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Joakim Maehle - Likely for Lazio game Maehle should be back in the lineup for Saturday's match versus Lazio, La Gazzetta dello Sport reports.

JANUARY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Rafael Toloi - Might be available versus Lazio Toloi has a chance to return in Saturday's game against Lazio, Sky Italy reports.

Impact Toloi missed the previous game reportedly because of COVID-19 protocols, although Atalanta did not confirm whether he tested positive. He would probably start if he was indeed available. He has recorded 22 tackles, 20 interceptions, 28 clearances and nine blocks in 14 Serie A matches, with three clean sheets.

JANUARY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Josip Ilicic - Doubtful for Lazio clash Ilicic is dealing with psychophysical problems and has barely practiced this week, Sky Italy reports.

Impact Ilicic missed extended time two years ago due to mental health issues, and so the situation is rather uncertain and worrisome. Matteo Pessina, Mario Pasalic and Aleksey Miranchuk would see increased playing time if both Ilicic and Ruslan Malinovskyi remained sidelined.

JANUARY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Hans Hateboer - Questionable for Lazio game Hateboer (undisclosed) is a late call for Sunday's match against Lazio, Sky Italy reports.

Impact Hateboer was a late scratch for the previous game, but he has a shot to be cleared for this one, although he is a long shot to start given the situation and that they have other options at the position. He has logged 12 crosses, ten tackles, four clearances and four chances in six appearances so far.

JANUARY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Juan Musso - Keeps clean sheet in Inter clash Musso had three saves while keeping a clean sheet in Sunday's 0-0 draw with Inter.

JANUARY 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

JANUARY 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Berat Djimsiti - Busy versus Inter Djimsiti sent in two crosses (both accurate), had three interceptions and two clearances and won two duels in Sunday's 0-0 draw with Inter.

JANUARY 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Teun Koopmeiners - Delivers five crosses versus Inter Koopmeiners won two of three tackles and six duels, sent in five crosses (one accurate) and had one interception in Sunday's 0-0 draw with Inter.

Impact Koopmeiners stayed in the XI thanks to multiple absences and, while he took care of a few set pieces, he was not super accurate. He has started in three of the last four games, scoring once and tallying four shots, five chances and 27 crosses. Atalanta will visit Lazio Saturday.

JANUARY 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Remo Freuler - Fills stat-sheet against Inter Freuler took two shots (one on target), created two scoring chances, had three interceptions and won three of three tackles in Sunday's 0-0 draw with Inter.

Impact Freuler had a busy performance in this one and racked up stats in both phases. He had not been this productive on offense in a while. He has notched five shots, three chances, seven interceptions and seven tackles in the last five appearances. Atalanta will visit Lazio Saturday.

JANUARY 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Matteo Pessina - Serviceable against Inter Pessina took three shots (two on target), created one scoring chance, had two interceptions and drew two fouls in Sunday's 0-0 draw with Inter.

Impact Pessina saw increased touches given Atalanta's absences up front and put together a well-rounded line, although his team did not manage to score in this one. He has hit the net once and logged seven shots, six chances and two crosses in the last five games. Atalanta will visit Lazio Saturday.

JANUARY 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Luis Muriel - Pretty productive versus Inter Muriel took two shots (one on target), sent in four crosses (two accurate), created one chance and won six duels in Sunday's 0-0 draw with Inter.

Impact Muriel again led the Atalanta offense with Duvan Zapata on the mend and managed to fill the stat-sheet, although he could not break through. He has scored twice and added ten shots, eight chances and 14 crosses in the last five games. Atalanta will visit Lazio Saturday.

JANUARY 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Mario Pasalic - Takes three shots against Inter Pasalic created three scoring chances, had three successful take-ons, won eight duels and took three shots (two on target) in Sunday's 0-0 draw with Inter.

Impact Pasalic paced his team in chances as he took on more of the creative burden with Ruslan Malinovskyi and Josip Ilicic unavailable for this one. He got denied by Samir Handanovic in a pair of menacing efforts. He has scored once and posted ten shots and three chances in the last five games. Atalanta will visit Lazio Saturday.

JANUARY 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Davide Zappacosta - Subs in late versus Inter Zappacosta won one duel and was dispossessed once while playing mostly in the stoppage time of Sunday's 0-0 draw with Inter.

JANUARY 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Rafael Toloi - Misses Inter clash Toloi was unavailable for Sunday's 0-0 tie with Inter.

Impact Toloi has reportedly been placed in the COVID-19 protocol, as the coach alluded to in the post-game remarks. He will try to clear it ahead of Saturday's road game versus Lazio, otherwise Atalanta will go with the same backline used in this one.

JANUARY 16, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Hans Hateboer - Ruled out for Inter tilt Hateboer is absent for Sunday's match versus Inter.

Impact Hateboer was in the running to start in this one, but he will be outright unavailable with unknown reasons. Joakim Maehle is out as well and Davide Zappacosta is not 100 percent, so Marten De Roon is filling in on the right flank, with Giuseppe Pezzella on the opposite one.

JANUARY 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Josip Ilicic - Unavailable against Inter Ilicic is missing from Atalanta's game-day squad list to face Inter Sunday.
