The Atalanta squad has returned to Bergamo with mixed emotions following their 2-2 draw against Barcelona in the Champions League. While the result didn’t secure a direct spot in the top eight, it has undoubtedly boosted the team’s morale and reinforced their belief in their abilities.
Upon their return, the team has been following a tailored training regimen. Players who saw limited action in Spain have been put through their paces with intense sessions, while those who featured prominently have focused on recovery exercises.
However, amidst the positive atmosphere, there are growing concerns over the fitness of key players Sead Kolasinac, Ademola Lookman, and particularly Giorgio Scalvini. The young defender’s right shoulder continues to be a source of worry for the medical staff. While no specialized examinations are currently scheduled, the possibility of surgical intervention looms large. Should Scalvini require surgery, it could potentially sideline him for the remainder of the season, dealing a significant blow to Atalanta’s defensive options.
