Champions League: Atalanta vs. Club Brugge – Probable line-ups and where to watch | OneFootball

Gian Piero Gasperini could welcome two key players back into his starting line-up, including Ademola Lookman, when Atalanta host Club Brugge for the second leg of their Champions League play-off round tie on Tuesday evening.

La Dea are half-way through their Champions League play-off tie against Club Brugge and trail 2-1 before the reverse leg, which means that only a victory will be enough to qualify for the round of 16.

Atalanta are coming in off the back of a disappointing 0-0 draw against Cagliari in Serie A at the weekend; A game that Gasperini used as an opportunity to rest several of his key players, including Berat Djimsiti, Ederson, Marten De Roon, Davide Zappacosta and Charles De Ketelaere, all of whom are expected to start against Club Brugge.

There are a pair of boosts for Gasperini. Sead Kolasinac has been out of action with a hamstring injury since the start of the month, but is expected to start against Club Brugge. Lookman, the reigning African Player of the Year, is also back and is expected to play, but could start among the substitutes.

Isak Hien has reportedly picked up a minor injury in preparation for Tuesday’s game, which means that Stefan Posch could start in the back three in his place.

Kick-off is due at 20.00 GMT.
