Will return against Torino Hefti sat out the previous game because of the flu and has managed to shake it off, coach Alexander Blessin informed.

Launches five crosses Hefti had five crosses, two interceptions, one tackle and created two chances in the 0-0 draw with Empoli on Sunday.

Impact Both sides were pushing to score a goal, and though Hefti didn't take a shot, he tried his best to give his teammates opportunities. The midfielder has been crossing more regularly lately, but he has only logged one assist so far this season. If he can keep his volume high, then there may be a possibility to increase that number against Atalanta.
