Berat Djimsiti - Scores and subs off versus Shaktar DonetskDjimsiti scored one goal to go with four clearances and left at half-time due to a hip issue, Sky Italy reported.

ImpactDjimsiti broke the deadlock on a set piece but bowed out at halftime because of an ailment. He'll be assessed ahead of Saturday's home game versus Genoa. Atalanta would be particularly depleted if he was sidelined since Isak Hien (thigh) is on the shelf and Odilon Kossounou (thigh) also limped off in this one. Ben Godfrey and Marten de Roon are the alternative options in the back.
