Marten De Roon has made a swift recovery from his recent head injury and is ready to rejoin Atalanta for their crucial Champions League match against Barcelona. The Dutch midfielder, who was forced to leave the field during Saturday’s game against Como due to a head trauma, has been cleared to play after participating in regular training with the team.
Gazzetta dello Sport report that De Roon’s quick return comes as a welcome relief for Atalanta, especially in light of the recent injury to Ademola Lookman. The midfielder’s presence will be a significant boost for the team as they prepare to face Barcelona in a high-stakes European encounter.
While De Roon has recovered, sporting a small bump as a reminder of the incident, other players in the squad are still working their way back to full fitness. Gianluca Scamacca continues his individual training regimen, while Odilon Kossounou remains in therapy for his injury.
The Atalanta squad is scheduled to depart for Barcelona this afternoon. Upon arrival, manager Gian Piero Gasperini and defender Berat Djimsiti will address the media in a pre-match press conference at 6 PM local time. Following this, the team will conduct their final training session at Montjuic Stadium at 6:30 PM, making their final preparations for the big match.
