Berat Djimsiti - Breaks left legDjimsiti suffered a broken left fibula during Sunday's 1-1 draw with Milan, it was announced Monday.

ImpactDjimsiti will probably be out between three and four months due to this injury, which could put him out until near or after the World Cup. Caleb Okoli came in Sunday to relieve Djimsiti and could take over his place on a more regular basis over the coming weeks. For Djimsiti, who has started at least 25 league matches in each of the last three seasons, his season will become practically cut in half.

Mario Pasalic - Busy at both ends in Mila gamePasalic won three duels and had two interceptions, three shots (one on goal), and one chance created in Sunday's 1-1 tie with AC Milan.

ImpactPasalic wasn't as productive as in the opener, also because he was facing a better opponent, but still managed to put together an okay stat line. He has logged one assist, five shots (one on target), two chances created and five interceptions through two games. Atalanta will face Verona away Sunday.

Luis Muriel - Used as a sub versus MilanMuriel won one tackle and three duels and had three crosses (one accurate) and two corners in 17 minutes in Sunday's 1-1 tie against AC Milan.

ImpactMuriel got relatively busy in his short time on the pitch, and his spot in the starting XI isn't very secure with Ruslan Malinovskyi, Ademola Lookman and Jeremie Boga all vying for minutes. He has been rather poor in the first two appearances, where he hasn't taken a shot nor created a chance and sent in four crosses (one accurate).

Joakim Maehle - Sets up teammate against MilanMaehle drew one foul and assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and two chances created in Sunday's 1-1 tie against AC Milan.

ImpactMaehle had a lively display and contributed to the lone goal by his side by finding Ruslan Malinovskyi with a low-driven pass after sprinting down the flank. He's eventually going to be impacted by the return of Davide Zappacosta (thigh), but the teammate might be at least a couple of weeks away from being able to start. He has logged three off-target shots, three chances created, two tackles and two interceptions in the first two matches.

Teun Koopmeiners - Decent in Milan clashKoopmeiners won three duels and had three crosses (one accurate), one chance created and one interception in Sunday's 1-1 tie against AC Milan.

ImpactKoopmeiners has de facto replaced Remo Freuler in the midfield, and while the role isn't as offensive as the one he often covered last season, it should allow him to contribute in both phases game in and game out. He has tallied three chances created, five crosses (two accurate), six tackles and two clearances in two appearances.

Ruslan Malinovskyi - Finds target versus MilanMalinovskyi created three chances and scored one goal to go with five shots (one on goal), three crosses (one accurate), and two corners in Sunday's 1-1 tie against AC Milan.

ImpactMalinovskyi got the start quite surprisingly, as the coach hinted he was on his way out in the pre-game presser, but instead he led his team in shots and hit the net with a potent shot from outside the box, with the help of a little deflection. If he stays, he'll split minutes with Luis Muriel, Ademola Lookman and Jeremie Boga.
