Marten De Roon - Scores against Lazio De Roon drew one foul, won five duels and one of two tackles and scored on his only shot in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Lazio.

Impact De Roon started again as a center-back, but he found himself in the box in Atalanta's late push and slotted home a very technical first-touch shot. It is his first goal of the season. He will continue to play in the back until Rafael Toloi and Berat Djimisiti return. He has logged 24 tackles, 12 interceptions and 12 clearances in ten matches. Atalanta will host Manchester United in Champions League Tuesday and then visit Cagliari next Saturday.

Ruslan Malinovskyi - Fires two shots versus Lazio Malinovskyi took two off-target shots, sent in two crosses (one accurate) and created one scoring chance in 31 minutes in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Lazio.

Impact Malinovskyi was partially rested in this one and did not have a major impact upon subbing in, although he picked up limited stats in a few offensive categories. He has scored just twice in 14 games but he has contributed elsewhere since he has tallied 30 shots, 25 chances created and 71 crosses. Atalanta will host Manchester United in Champions League Tuesday and then visit Cagliari next Saturday.

Duvan Zapata - Finds target against Lazio Zapata took two shots (one on target), sent in three inaccurate crosses, created three chances and scored a goal in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Lazio.

Impact Zapata bagged a great goal at the end of the first half, as he muscled his way to the box and bent the gloves of the goalie with a potent cross-shot. He has hit the net four times in the last six matches, adding one assist, 16 shots and 12 chances created. Atalanta will host Manchester United in Champions League Tuesday and then visit Cagliari next Saturday.

Luis Muriel - Decent off bench against Lazio Muriel took two off-target shots, sent in two crosses (both accurate), drew one foul and won five duels in 23 minutes in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Lazio.

Impact Muriel had decent volume considering the limited playing time and came a few inches from scoring with a daisy-cutter from outside the box. He lost minutes after a thigh injury, as he has started just once in the past six matches, registering one assist, 12 shots and three chances created. Atalanta will host Manchester United in Champions League Tuesday and then visit Cagliari next Saturday.

Merih Demiral - Wins eight duels versus Lazio Demiral (thigh) took two off-target shots, had one interception and three clearances and won eight duels in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Lazio.

He has tallied 12 tackles, 17 interceptions and 34 clearances in ten games, with one clean sheets. Atalanta will host Manchester United in Champions League Tuesday and then visit Cagliari next Saturday.

Jose Luis Palomino - Avoids particular problems Palomino is expected to be available for Tuesday's clash with Manchester United, coach Gian Piero Gasperini announced.

Impact Palomino bowed out early in the past Serie A game, on top of picking up his fifth yellow card, triggering a suspension. He will be re-assessed at the beginning of the week, but the coach was very optimistic about his status.

OCTOBER 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Rafael Toloi - Slows down in rehab Toloi had a little hiccup and will most likely miss Saturday's match with Lazio and Tuesday's one against Manchester United, coach Gian Piero Gasperini announced.

Impact Toloi has sat out the last three matches and will probably sat out at least two more because of a thigh pull. Atalanta could recover Merih Demiral but lost Jose Luis Palomino compared to the previous game. The only other options in the back are Matteo Lovato, Marten De Roon and youngster Giorgio Scalvini.

Merih Demiral - Could be back against Lazio Demiral will be assessed in the final practice but he has good chances to return in Saturday's game versus Lazio, coach Gian Piero Gasperini announced.

Impact Demiral has missed the past two matches because of a minor hamstring issue. If fit, he would likely get the start because Atalanta are missing a few defenders. He has tallied 11 tackles, 16 interceptions and 31 clearances in nine games, with one clean sheet.
