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.

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.

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

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.

Piles up stats against Bologna Scalvini (thigh) won one of three tackles and had two interceptions, three clearances and two blocks in 68 minutes in Wednesday's 2-0 victory over Bologna.

Impact Scalvini continued to start despite picking up an ailment in the previous game and was busy in the back.

Starting after injury Scalvini (calf) is in the starting XI for Wednesday's match against Bologna.

Impact Scalvini is back in the lineup Wednesday after a calf issue gave him some worries, not missing any time due to the injury. He immediately returns to the starting spot he held last contest. He will now hope to avoid injuries and maintain this role, as he hs struggled to see time this season due to injuries.

JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Avoids particular problems Scalvini (calf) is nursing some muscle fatigue, but won't be sidelined, La Gazzetta dello Sport relayed.

Impact Scalvini signaled some discomfort before bowing out against Roma but was mostly cramping up and is poised to be for Wednesday's contest against Bologna, although he might still drop to the bench considering he hadn't played in three months before the last round. Isak Hien could be back in the starting lineup after being initially spared versus Roma. Scalvini has posted eight tackles (four won), six interceptions and 17 clearances in six appearances (four starts), with no clean sheets.

Impact Scalvini broke the deadlock by outmuscling the goalie on a corner kick and bungling it home, but was forced to sub off in the second half because of a physical problem.

Isak Hien, who had unusually begun on the bench, replaced him.

JANUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Bench option in cup game Scalvini (thigh) was an unused sub in Wednesday's Coppa Italia match versus Genoa.

Impact Scalvini recovered from his latest setback after skipping the previous three games. He has featured just once since mid-September due to multiple thigh problems. He'll re-join the rotation in the back, competing especially with Odilon Kossonou and Berat Djismiti, but he might be managed very carefully for a while, given his injury woes so far. He has registered one goal, six tackles, six interceptions and 11 clerances in five appearances (three starts), with no clean sheets.

DECEMBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sidelined for Fiorentina tilt Scalvini (thigh) has been omitted from Atalanta's call-ups for Sunday's game against Fiorentina.

Odilon Kossonou, Berat Djimsiti and Honest Ahanor will continue to benefit from his absence, and Sead Kolasinac returned to the pitch after a major injury in the last Champions League fixture.
