Good to go for Juventus clash Hien (thigh) has been named in Atalanta's squad list to face Juventus on Sunday.

Plays with Sweden Hien (illness) got the nod in Sunday's Nations League game versus Sweden.

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.
