Atalanta will host AC Milan at the Gewiss stadium in Bergamo in what will surely be an intense matchda 7. Two strong teams, both competing in the Champions League, are set to battle it out for the 3 valuable points.
AC Milan has important absences, Zlatan Ibrahimovic's above all, as well as Tiémoué Bakayoko and Rade Krunic. But, Atalanta also has some problems.
According to what is reported by Tuttoatalanta.com, coach Gian Piero Gasperini is facing multiple problems as he prepares for the Serie A clash against the Rossoneri.
Robin Gosens will surely miss out on the game after a serious injury picked up in the Champions League match against Young Boys. He is expected to be out for at least 1 month due to a hamstring injury.
In defence, Rafael Toloi and Merih Demirah are also in doubt: the Italian-Brazilian has a discomfort in the adductor while the Turk has pain in the flexor. Both will be evaluated in the next few hours to see if they will take the field in the match against the Rossoneri.
If Toloi, however, manages to be available for the Rossoneri fixture, Gasperini would opt for a 3-man-defensive line with Palomino and Djimsiti oherwise, the two winbgacks Zappacosta and Maehle will be lowered into full-backs in a 4-2-3-1 formation module.
Then, De Roon and Freuler will be placed in the middle of the field with Pessina as playmaker. In the attack, Malinovskyi and Zapata are confirmed with one between Muriel and Ilicic set to start on the left flank.
