Teun Koopmeiners is getting closer and closer to being called up for Atalanta's away match in Naples next Saturday. Tomorrow's finishing in Zingonia will be decisive for him, on the eve of his departure by plane. The Dutch midfielder, who returned from the national team with the after-effects of a left calf injury suffered last Friday against Scotland, trained today in part with the rest of the team, but in any case it seems difficult to use him as a starter behind the attack in the 3-4-1 -2 from Gasperini, who should use Pasalic in his place from 1'.
The only doubt in defense, compared to the standard formation, between Djimsiti, 19 games without missing a minute including the two against Albania, and the Swede Hien. Up front, however, the unavailability of Charles De Ketelaere is certain, suffering from distracting after-effects of the adductor longus in his left thigh.
Scamacca and Lookman should play, even if the Nigerian is on a warning like De Roon, whose place in midfield with Ederson is certain, and the two wingers Hateboer and Zappacosta.
