Three Key Atalanta Stars Risk Missing Inter Milan Serie A Clash | OneFootball

Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini will have some major selection headaches ahead of tomorrow’s clash against Inter Milan.

The experienced tactician will be without some of his most important players when his team takes the short trip to Milano.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport via FcInterNews. five Atalanta players are definitely out of the encounter due to injuries, while another three are at risk.

La Dea will certainly miss the services of Gianluca Scamacca who suffered a horrific ACL injury in pre-season. The same goes for fellow long-term absentee Giorgio Scalvini.

Sead Kolasican, Mitchel Bakker and Ibrahim Sulemana will also skip Friday’s Lombardian Derby, leaving Gasperini short of options.

Moreover, the pink newspaper notes that another three important stars will be evaluated ahead of the match.

The first is Ademola Lookman who has only recently returned to training. The Nigerian emerged as a serious candidate to join Paris Saint-Germain over the past few weeks, so he hasn’t been attending his club’s training sessions as of late.

Although the striker has once again put himself at Gasperini’s disposal, it remains unclear if he’ll be able to regain match fitness swiftly.

On the other hand, Nicolo Zaniolo is recovering from a muscle strain. He will be hoping to regain his optimal condition in time to earn a call-up against his old employers.

Finally, Isak Hien has missed two days of training due to flu. The medical staff will closely monitor his condition before making a decision on his availability.

The match kicks off tomorrow at 20:45 CET. This will be Inter’s first major test of the campaign.

Simone Inzaghi’s men settled for a 2-2 draw against Genoa in the opening round. Last weekend, they earned their first win of the campaign by beating Lecce 2-0.
