Impact Pessina has been nursing the injury for a couple of weeks and his status for the opener versus Torino is up in the air. He will be a sure-fire starter once healthy, but he will probably have to be replaced by either Jose Machin, Mattia Valoti or Filippo Ranocchia in the first game.

Creates two chances against Empoli Pessina took one off-target shot, created two scoring chances, sent in one accurate cross and won one tackle in 33 minutes in Saturday's 0-1 loss to Empoli.

Impact Pessina provided a decent jolt off the bench but it was not enough to propel his team to a positive result.

Rare block tally Saturday Pessina logged two blocks during a 0-0 draw Sunday versus Genoa.

Scores off bench in win Pessina scored a goal off two shots (one on target) and created one chance after coming off the bench during Sunday's 6-2 win over Udinese.

Impact Pessina was a halftime substitute, replacing Marten de Roon and didn't produce anything noteworthy until the stoppage time, when he sealed the 6-2 win for Atalanta with a one-timed shot from just outside the box.

Atalanta will face Napoli away Saturday.
