Nicolo Zaniolo - Picks up new injury Zaniolo suffered a thigh problem in training, coach Gian Piero Gasperini informed.
Ademola Lookman - Resumes training regularly Lookman "re-joined the group on Thursday after 15 days, so we'll have to decide about his availability versus Inter," coach Gian Piero Gasperini relayed.
Impact Lookman is highly likely to stay put but might remain unavailable for the Inter game, or at least be highly limited, since he didn't train for about a week and did it on the side for a few more days.
AUGUST 29 • ROTOWIRE
Isak Hien - Doubtful for Inter clash Hien "has a 99 percent chance of missing the Inter game because of the flu and a high fever. We don't think he'll recover. We'll see whether to use Ben Godfrey or somebody else," c...
Impact Hien hasn't been completely ruled out, but he'll have to improve in a hurry to be able to play. He's more likely to be left out of the squad. Atalanta would have to switch tactics if they didn't deploy Godfrey since they have run out of healthy bodies in the back.

Atalanta signs Ivory Coast defender Kossounou from Leverkusen, which moves quickly to replace him
Ivory Coast defender Odilon Kossounou has joined Italian club Atalanta from Bayer Leverkusen which moved quickly to sign Nordi Mukiele on loan from Paris Saint-Germain as his repla...AUGUST 28 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Odilon Kossounou - Headed to Atalanta Kossounou completed a loan move to Atalanta from Leverkusen, the club announced.
Impact Kossounou is making the loan move to Atalanta, a somewhat surprising move, especially with Jonathan Tah being linked with a move. Still Kossounou wasn't a first-choice defender, especially if Tah remains, and he should get more chances for playing time in Italy. Kossounou made 22 appearances (21 starts) with Leverkusen last year.
AUGUST 28 • ROTOWIRE
Juan Cuadrado - Signs with Atalanta Cuadrado has inked a seasonal contract with Atalanta, the team announced.
Impact Cuadrado was marred by injuries in his lone campaign by Inter, which decided not to renew his contract. He appeared 12 times (one start) in 2023/2024, recording two assists, 11 key passes and 22 crosses (four accurate). He'll be an extra option on the right wing behind Raoul Bellanova and Davide Zappacosta and also occasionally star in different roles.
AUGUST 26 • ROTOWIRE
Nicolo Zaniolo - Comes off the bench against Torino Zaniolo (foot) registered two shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in 20 minutes in Sunday's 2-1 defeat against Torino.
Impact Zaniolo made his seasonal debut after dealing with a nagging foot injury and looked decent in limited action. He'll try to earn more minutes at the expense of Charles De Ketelaere, Lazar Samardzic and Marco Brescianini in the next few games.
AUGUST 26 • ROTOWIRE
Matteo Ruggeri - Sends in six crosses against Torino Ruggeri generated six crosses (three accurate), one tackle (zero won), one clearance and two corners in Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Torino.
Impact Ruggeri was the runner-up in deliveries for his side but wasn't as impactful as in the opener or his teammate Davide Zappacosta on the other wing in this case. He has assisted once and posted three key passes, 11 crosses (six accurate) and three corners in two games.
AUGUST 26 • ROTOWIRE
Lazar Samardzic - Debuts with Atalanta Samardzic created three scoring chances and had three shots (one on goal), three crosses (two accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Torino.
Impact Samardzic tried to lead the comeback after entering the game in the second half and contributed across the board on offense, but his side didn't manage to score. He'll compete primarily with Marco Brescianini and Mario Pasalic if Teun Koopmeiners leaves as expected.
AUGUST 26 • ROTOWIRE
Charles De Ketelaere - Takes four shots in Torino fixture De Ketelaere had four shots (two on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and three chances created in Sunday's 2-1 defeat versus Torino.
Impact De Ketelare was often the main engine of the attack but couldn't finish properly on a few nice scoring opportunities from decent spots. He's searching for his first point after two rounds, where he has registered six shots (three on target), three key passes and two crosses (one accurate).
AUGUST 26 • ROTOWIRE
Mario Pasalic - Misses late PK versus Torino Pasalic recorded four shots (two on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created and was denied from the spot in Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Torino.
Impact Pasalic put together a solid performance as he keeps benefitting from Teun Koopmeiners' transfer market-related absence, but he couldn't convert a late penalty kick due to a brilliant save by Vanja Milinkovic-Savic. He has posted one assist, six shots (two on target) and three key passes in two games.
AUGUST 26 • ROTOWIRE
Davide Zappacosta - Provides assist in Torino tilt Zappacosta assisted once to go with three shots (zero on goal), nine crosses (two accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 2-1 loss against Torino.
Impact Zappacosta led his team in deliveries as the opponents had trouble containing him and found Mateo Retegui with a great cross to set up the first goal of the game. He'll soon face serious competition from Raoul Bellanova, who was one of the best wingbacks in the league last season. He has tallied five shots (zero on target), four key passes and 13 crosses (four accurate) in two games.
AUGUST 26 • ROTOWIRE
Mateo Retegui - Hits the net against Torino Retegui scored one goal to go with four shots (two on target) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Torino.
Impact Retegui bagged his third goal since moving to Atalanta with an impressive header from the middle of the box. He wasn't too busy besides that, though. He has recorded seven shots (five on target), one key pass and one inaccurate shot in two games.
AUGUST 26 • ROTOWIRE
Marco Carnesecchi - Concedes twice versus Torino Carnesecchi recorded four saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Torino.
Impact Carnesecchi made his seasonal debut as Juan Musso is about to leave and had a decent performance despite giving up two goals to unguarded opponents in the box. He'll be the unquestioned starter going forward. He made 79 clean sheets, allowed 30 goals and kept eight clean sheets in 27 games last season. Atalanta will visit Inter on Friday.

Raoul Bellanova - Out for reunion with former team Bellanova hasn't been called up for Sunday's match versus Torino.
Impact Bellanova just joined the team, plus Atalanta decided to spare him an immediate trip to his previous stomping grounds, as the fans didn't take his departure too well, Gianluca Di Marzio reports. Davide Zappacosta and Marco Palestra will be the options on the right wing Sunday.
AUGUST 24 • ROTOWIRE
Nicolo Zaniolo - Called up for Torino clash Zaniolo (foot) made Atalanta's squad list to face Torino on Sunday.
Impact Zaniolo has shaken off a foot tendinopathy that bothered him for a while enough to be called up and perhaps see limited minutes if things go right. Charles De Ketelaere and Mateo Retegui are likely to start, but Atalanta don't have depth behind them due to Ademola Lookman's transfer market-related absence.
AUGUST 24 • ROTOWIRE
Ademola Lookman - Absent for Torino fixture Lookman (personal) hasn't been selected for Sunday's game versus Torino.
Impact Lookman has resumed training and might end up staying, but he didn't have a clean week, and the coach preferred to leave him home for the second consecutive match. Atalanta will be able to lean on Nicolo Zaniolo (foot) in addition to the attackers that starred last week.
AUGUST 24 • ROTOWIRE
Mitchel Bakker - Suffers thigh injury Bakker sustained a right biceps femoris injury and will miss Sunday's away game versus Torino, Mediaset reported.
Impact Bakker will take some tests in short order to evaluate the severity of the issue, which might cost him multiple games. Matteo Ruggeri and Davide Zappacosta will be the options for the left flank sans him.

Teun Koopmeiners - Will remain sidelined Koopmeiners hasn't resumed training since he first asked out, TuttoSport relayed.
Impact Koopmeiners has dug his heels in and wants to join Juventus, but the deal will go down to the wire. The situation will eventually be revisited after the end of the window. In the meantime, Atalanta have signed Marco Brescianini and Lazar Samardzic in his position.
AUGUST 23 • ROTOWIRE
Raoul Bellanova - Heads to Atalanta Bellanova has joined Atlanta on a permanent deal from Torino, the team announced.
Impact Bellanova is coming off a highly productive season where he scored once and added seven assists, 52 key passes and 178 crosses (44 accurate). He will likely eventually become the top option at the position, but he'll have to compete with veteran Davide Zappacosta at first, who can also play on the other wing.
