Picks up strain De Roon has been diagnosed with a minor lesion of the biceps femoris muscle in the right thigh, Atalanta announced.
Impact De Roon will sit out at least the next two games and will be hard-pressed to return before the World Cup. Ederson and Giorgio Scalvini are next in line to play in his role, as the latter could move up from the defense with Rafael Toloi and Berat Djimsiti returning from their injuries.

Limps off versus Lazio De Roon had three clearances, won one tackle, and took one off-target shot before leaving due to thigh discomfort, coach Gian Piero Gasperini told BergamoNews.
Impact De Roon has played every minute so far, routinely working hard in the midfield. The gaffer added that the hope is that he bowed out before suffering a substantial injury. He'll be evaluated in the next few days. Ederson would likely replace him if he had to miss time.

Wins two tackles versus Empoli De Roon had two interceptions, won two of two tackles, took one off-target shot and drew one foul in Saturday's 0-1 loss to Empoli.
Impact De Roon worked hard in the midfield as usual in the disappointing season finale and was not involved much in the offense. He has remained a consistent starter in 2021-2022 and put up numbers in the back, also because he featured as a pure defender more frequently than in the past. He has scored three times, picked up an assist and logged 83 tackles, 72 interceptions and 61 clearances in 42 appearances.

Wins three tackles in Milan clash De Roon had one interception and four clearances and won three of four tackles and nine duels in Sunday's 0-2 loss to Milan.
Impact De Roon was deployed as center-back in this one and mostly held his own, but Atalanta gave up two goals in the second half. He has logged one goal, 18 tackles (13 tackles) and six clearances in the last five matches. Atalanta will host Empoli in the last Serie A round.
MAY 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Will be back in Verona game De Roon cleared his one-game ban in Sunday's 1-2 loss to Verona.

APRIL 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Scores versus Napoli De Roon took three shots (one on target), had three interceptions, won nine duels and scored a goal in Sunday's 1-3 loss to Napoli.
Impact De Roon re-opened the game in the second half with a quality header after sneaking into the box. However, he also picked up his fifth yellow card and will have to sit out next Sunday's home game versus Sassuolo. He will be replaced by either Matteo Pessina or Mario Pasalic.

Plays well at both ends De Roon had three shots (one on goal), five interceptions, two tackles and one foul in the 1-0 victory over Bologna on Sunday.
Impact As his side pushed as hard as they could to find the net, De Roon did everything he could to make sure and retain possession as much as possible. The defender does not usually shoot so much, but he does often have this many interceptions. While it will be a challenge, hopefully he can repeat this performance in the next match against Napoli.
MARCH 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Will return in Bologna game De Roon is available for Sunday's away versus Bologna after sitting out one match due to a red card.
Impact De Roon should be back in the XI unless the coach decides to manage him following the midweek bout with Bayer Leverkusen in Europa League. He could substitute Mario Pasalic or Teun Koopmeiners in the XI. He has logged three crosses, six tackles, ten interceptions and seven clearances in the last five matches.
MARCH 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Sees red in Roma clash De Roon won two of two tackles, had one clearance, sent in one inaccurate cross and was sent off in Saturday's 0-1 loss to Roma.
Impact De Roon did not have a particularly impressive game and was expelled because he protested too much after getting booked. He will miss next Sunday's home game against Genoa, where Teun Koopmeiners will move a few meters back, opening an offensive spot for one of their attackers.
MARCH 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Logs four interceptions versus Sampdoria De Roon took two off-target shots, had four interceptions and won two of four tackles and six duels in Monday's 4-0 win over Sampdoria.
Impact De Roon was not a factor on offense but he made his presence felt on the defensive end as per usual. He has logged one assist, six shots, six clearances and 13 interceptions in the last five matches. Atalanta will face Roma away Saturday.

Wins four duels in Cagliari game De Roon took three off-target shots, had tow interceptions, drew one foul and won four duels in Saturday's 2-1 win over Cagliari.

Logs seven interceptions versus Manchester United De Roon won two duels and one of two tackles and had seven interceptions in Tuesday's 2-2 draw with Manchester United.
Impact De Roon posted a new season high for interceptions, but Atalanta gave up two goals in this one. He returned to his regular role in the midfield in the second half and that should be the case going forward with Berat Djimsiti now available, but that should not significantly impact his fantasy outlook. He has scored once and notched 26 tackles, 19 interceptions and four chances created in 11 games. Atalanta will face Cagliari away Saturday.
NOVEMBER 3, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
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.

Eligibile to face Sassuolo De Roon has finished serving his four-game suspension and is available for Tuesday's match versus Sassuolo.
Impact De Roon had to watch the first four domestic games on the stands because of an incident with a referee in the final game of last season. He made his debut in Champions League, posting three tackles, one interceptions and two clearnaces. He plays a vital role in the midfield, but his offensive contribution is generally limited. His return will cut into the minutes of Mario Pasalic. Atalanta will host Sassuolo Tuesday.

Starts two matches De Room started two matches from three in the Euro 2020 group stage.
Impact De Roon didn't appear in Monday's group stage finale against North Macedonia but didn't need to as Ryan Gravenberch started and the Dutch still won. With three tackles made and one shot taken so far, De Roon doesn't have a tremendous amount of fantasy value even when he does start.
