Charles De Ketelaere - Bows out early against PSG De Ketelaere left Wednesday's 4-0 defeat against PSG at halftime due to a thigh injury, L'Eco di Bergamo relayed, after recording one tackle (one won) and one key pass.

Impact De Ketelaere had a quiet first half, like all the Atalanta attackers, before being forced off due to a physical problem. He'll need to be assessed ahead of Sunday's away game versus Torino. Lazar Samardzic, Daniel Maldini, and Kamaldeen Sulemana would be options to replace him if he were unavailable.

Giorgio Scalvini - Subs in and out against PSG Scalvini played just ten minutes in Wednesday's 4-0 loss to PSG due to a thigh problem, Mediaset reported.

Impact Scalvini initially got a breather after starting the first three games of the season and bowed out shortly after coming in due to a muscular problem. He's headed for some tests, but he's considered likely to miss at least Sunday's match versus Torino. Atalanta would use the same defense as in this one if that were indeed the case.

Gianluca Scamacca - Sidelined midweek Scamacca (knee) "won't be with us Wednesday," coach Ivan Juric announced.

SEPTEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Nikola Krstovic - Provides two helpers versus Lecce Krstovic assisted twice to go with eight shots (one on goal) and two chances created in Sunday's 4-1 win over Lecce.

Impact Krstovic didn't manage to score against his former team despite leading his current one in attempts, squandering more than a few juicy opportunities, but he still contributed to the win by setting up both Charles De Ketelaere and Nicola Zalewki with timely feeds. He's set to continue starting as Gianluca Scamacca (knee) doesn't have a firm timetable, and Atalanta don't have other pure center-forwards on their squad. He has posted three assists, 10 shots (two on target) and four key passes in three appearances.

Giorgio Scalvini - Strikes against Lecce Scalvini scored one goal to go with three interceptions, four clearances and one block in Sunday's 4-1 win over Lecce.

Nicola Zalewski - Scores and assists in Lecce game Zalewski scored one goal and assisted once from two shots (one on target) and nine crosses (one accurate) in Sunday's 4-1 win against Lecce.

Impact Zalewski grabbed a featured role right away after joining Atalanta and had his finest performance yet in this one, finding the target with a surgical strike from midrange and assisting Giorgio Scalvini with a corner kick. He had strong volume but wasn't very precise, although he picked up an assist on his lone good delivery. He has logged three shots (one on target), four chances created, 22 crosses (five accurate) and 11 corners in three matches.

Gianluca Scamacca - Will miss Lecce game Scamacca (knee) "won't be an option Sunday because he's still dealing with a rather bad inflammation," coach Ivan Juric relayed.

Impact Scamacca avoided significant injuries but hasn't been able to train fully since being sent back by Italy because of the swelling. He's unlikely to return midweek. Nikola Krstovic will lead the frontline, and the coach would have to use a false-nine if something happened to him.

Giorgio Scalvini - Busy in Parma contest Scalvini had five tackles (three won), six clearances and three interceptions and created one scoring chance in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Parma.

Impact Scalvini had an impeccable defensive performance and filled the stat sheet, but it wasn't enough to completely shut down the opponents.

He has registered six tackles, three interceptions and six clearances so far, with no clean sheets.
