Isak Hien - Serves disqualification Hien completed a one-game ban in Sunday's 1-0 loss to Bologna.

Impact Hien will return against Fiorentina next week and compete with Berat Djimsiti, who pushed through a hamstring injury in this one. Hien has posted at least one clearance in his seven consecutive appearances (four starts), piling up and adding 13 tackles (eight won), six blocks and seven interceptions, with no clean sheets.

Sead Kolasinac - Bench option Sunday Kolasinac (lower leg) is on the bench for Sunday's clash against Bologna.

Impact Kolasinac has been included in the squad despite the knock that had left him as a late doubt heading into the weekend, with the staff remaining hopeful he can contribute despite not being at 100 percent as Atalanta navigate a critically depleted defensive situation. His presence on the bench is a welcome development for a side already without Isak Hien through suspension and Odilon Kossounou through injury.

Giorgio Scalvini - Finds starting role Scalvini (ankle) is in the starting XI for Sunday's clash against Bologna.

Impact Scalvini defied the initial belief that his season was over, passing the late fitness test that had been set to determine his availability after working on grass in recent days and recovering more quickly than expected. The defender has tallied at least one tackle in six straight outings, all starts, totaling 10 tackles, 14 interceptions and 17 clearances over that span while helping secure two clean sheets, scoring and assisting once, and his return is a timely boost for an Atalanta side already dealing with injury concerns surrounding Sead Kolasinac. His ability to earn a starting role after being initially ruled out for the season is a remarkable turnaround that gives the coaching staff a much-needed defensive option heading into the weekend.

Berat Djimsiti - Starting in defense Djimsiti (hamstring) is in the starting XI for Sunday's clash against Bologna.

Impact Djimsiti gutted it out through the soreness that had left him to be evaluated until the last moment, with the game-day assessment returning a positive outcome and coach Raffaele Palladino clearing him to start in what is a critically depleted defensive situation for Atalanta. His availability is a massive relief for a side already without Isak Hien through suspension and with Odilon Kossounou also unavailable, leaving the coaching staff with virtually no other options at the back. His willingness to push through the discomfort underlines the importance of the fixture and the extent to which Atalanta are relying on him to hold the defensive line together heading into the weekend.

Sead Kolasinac - Questionable for Bologna contest Kolasinac is a late doubt for Sunday's fixture against Bologna due to a knock, Sky Italy reported.

Impact Kolasinac isn't 100 percent, but the staff is hopeful he'll soldier through his physical problem since Isak Hien (suspension) and Odilon Kossounou (thigh) are missing and Berat Djimsiti (hamstring) and Giorgio Scalvini (ankle) are iffy as well. At least one of the players in subpar form will likely get the nod anyway.

Giorgio Scalvini - Could make it for Bologna clash Scalvini (ankle) has recovered more quickly than expected and could be available versus Bologna on Sunday, L'Eco di Bergamo reported.

Impact Scalvini was initially believed to be done for the season, but he's been able to work on grass in recent days and could be an option if he passes a late fitness test. Sead Kolasinac (lower leg) and Berat Djimsiti (hamstring) are also banged up, so the lineup choices will likely come down to whoever is in better shape. Scalvini has tallied at least one tackle in six straight outings (all starts), totaling 10, helping secure two clean sheets, scoring and assisting once and adding 14 interceptions and 17 clearances over that span.

MAY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Berat Djimsiti - Touch-and-go for Bologna tilt Djimsiti (hamstring) "will be evaluated until the last moment," coach Raffaele Palladino relayed.

Impact Djimsiti is dealing mostly with some soreness and will be assessed on game day. He might gut it out since Isak Hien is suspended and Odilon Kossounou (thigh) and Giorgio Scalvini (ankle) are unavailable.

Serie A schedule in chaos, with half the teams unsure when they'll play this weekend

The Serie A schedule is in chaos just days before the penultimate round of fixtures

MAY 14 • Associated Press

Odilon Kossounou - Will skip the last two tilts Kossounou is nursing a grade one biceps femoris strain, Mediaset reported.

Impact Kossounou isn't dealing with an overly concerning problem, but he won't be able to play in the last two games of the season. He's had an up-and-down year, as he wasn't a regular after AFCON. He has contributed to four clean sheets in 29 appearances (20 starts), recording 29 tackles, 22 interceptions and 55 clearances. Sead Kolasinac, Honest Ahanor and Marten De Roon are the only healthy options in the back at the moment.

MAY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Giorgio Scalvini - Will miss the last two matches Scalvini has been diagnosed with a medium-grade right ankle sprain, La Gazzetta dello Sport relayed.

Impact Scalvini will need up to a month to recover and therefore won't be an option for the last two rounds. He closes his campaign a little early with with three goals, one assist, 66 clearnaces and 44 tackles and having contributed to five clean sheets in 23 appearances, missing significant time earlier in the year. Atalanta will have a very makeshift line down the stretch, as Isak Hien is suspended and Berat Djimsiti (hamstring) and Odilon Kossounou (thigh) are iffy.

Impact Hien put up good numbers, coming close to his season high in clearances, but the Atalanta defense came apart in the final minutes. He won't be an option for the Bologna game.

Impact Kossounou relieved Giorgio Scalvini (ankle) early in the second half but bowed out a few minutes later due to a muscular problem and will be examined before next week's home contest versus Bologna. Honest Ahanor and Marten De Roon would be the next men up in the back if Scalvini, Kossounou and Berat Djimsiti (thigh) didn't recover.
