Sebastian Walukiewicz - Missing Sunday Walukiewicz (undisclosed) is out for Sunday's match against Atalanta.

Impact Walukiewicz was questionable heading into Sunday and will not be an option for his club, with his undisclosed injury too much to play through. This leaves the club without a starting center-back to enter the season, as he started in 33 of his 24 appearances last campaign. There was some optimism he would be an option against Atalanta, so the hope will be that he returns next contest.

Charles De Ketelaere - Named to bench De Ketelaere (thigh) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Sassuolo.

Impact De Ketelaere is back in the team after a thigh injury limited him this summer, having been practicing the past few days. He is likely on the bench to be cautious, but should push for starting time in the coming games, recording three goals and five assists in 31 appearances (26 starts) last campaign.

Giorgio Scalvini - Manages to speed up recovery Scalvini (ankle) trained fully on game day and has been selected for Sunday's clash with Sassuolo.

Impact Scalvini was initially expected to miss this one, but he looked better than anticipated in training and will be an option after all. He could get the nod if he feels well enough; otherwise, Odilon Kossounou and Sead Kolasinac will be in the XI, while Thomas Kristensen (ankle) is on the shelf.
