Coppa Italia semi-final line-ups: Fiorentina vs. Atalanta | OneFootball

Nico Gonzalez and Andrea Belotti lead the way for Fiorentina against Atalanta’s Ademola Lookman and Teun Koopmeiners in the Coppa Italia semi-final 1st leg.

It kicks off at the Stadio Artemio Franchi at 20.00 UK time (19.00 GMT).

These teams both went close to the trophy in recent years, Fiorentina losing the Final last season, Atalanta defeated in 2019 and 2021.

The second leg will be on April 24.

They were also meant to meet in Serie A on March 17, only for the match to be called off following director Joe Barone’s fatal heart attack.

Fiorentina won just one of their last six Serie A games and are coming off a 2-1 home defeat to Milan.

Giacomo Bonaventura was suspended for that fixture with Nico Gonzalez and Arthur not fully fit, while Lucas Martinez-Quarta is carrying a knock.

Atalanta have lost defender Giorgio Scalvini for a month with a calf strain, while Charles De Ketelaere is also on the treatment table.

The positive news for Gian Piero Gasperini is that Koopmeiners is ready to start again after a muscular problem on international duty.

Gasperini himself sits in the stands due to a touchline ban, so assistant Tullio Gritti is on the bench.
