Isak Hien - Injured on international duty Hien was subbed off with a potential injury during Sweden's World Cup qualifying match against Ukraine on Thursday.

Impact Hien is now questionable for the next games for both club and country, as it remains to be seen if he picked up a major issue. He has started in five of the last eight matches for Atalanta across all competitions, featuring as part of a three-man back line that could be filled by Berat Djimsiti alongside Sead Kolasinac and Giorgio Scalvini if the injury turns out to be serious.

Charles De Ketelaere - Plays an hour against Bayern Munich De Ketelaere created two scoring chances and logged one cross (one accurate) and one interception in 57 minutes in Wednesday's 4-1 defeat to Bayern Munich.

Impact De Ketelaere was fit enough to start a few days after recovering from a knee injury and was okay on offense in a tough game for his side.

Impact Raspadori made a cameo in his return from a thigh injury and took the corner kick that was eventually bagged by Lazar Samardzic following a deflection by Mario Pasalic. He might continue to be managed against Verona after a month out, but he'll eventually be the top option over Nicola Zalewski, Kamaldeen Sulemana and Mario Pasalic in his role.

Impact Sportiello relieved Marco Carnesecchi as Atalanta had slim chances to come back and couldn't do a lot more, as the defense struggled mightily again. He has surrendered five goals and made six saves in his lone two seasonal showings. The starter will return in Sunday's home game against Verona.

MARCH 19 • ROTOWIRE

Yunus Musah - Clears UCL suspension Musah is an option going forward after serving a one-game ban in the return leg of the Champions League clash with Bayern.

Impact Musah has seen limited playing time over the last few games, so he's not guaranteed to feature while Ederson, Marten De Roon and Mario Pasalic are favored in holding midfield. Still, Musa will look to get some opportunities, holding some attacking upside after scoring in two of his last four matches played across all competitions.

MARCH 18 • ROTOWIRE

Giacomo Raspadori - Selected for bench Raspadori (thigh) is on the bench for Wednesday's match against Bayern Munich.

Impact Raspadori is back in the squad Wednesday after a decent injury absence, last playing a month and three days ago when facing Lazio on Feb. 14.

He has scored and assisted once in four showings with Atalanta, adding 10 shots (five on target), six chances created and 20 crosses (seven accurate).

MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE
