It’s a difficult time for Gian Piero Gasperini’s Atalanta, especially concerning injuries that continue to plague the Nerazzurri squad. Following the potentially lengthy absence of Posch, the Bergamo club must now also contend with physical problems affecting Isak Hien and Daniel Maldini.
Hien’s Condition
The defender has not fully recovered from an injury sustained a couple of weeks ago. Since then, he has not trained regularly with the group, and even today, just hours before the match against Juventus, he only partially participated in the training session. He might be included in the squad list but is unlikely to play in Turin.
Another Setback for Maldini
Worse news comes from Daniel Maldini. After previous physical issues that kept him sidelined, the former Monza player is now struggling with lumbago. The 2001-born player missed Friday’s training session due to severe back pain. His condition will be assessed in tomorrow’s session to determine if he can travel with his teammates or will have to withdraw.
List of Injured Players
The following players will definitely miss the match against Juventus due to injury: Stefan Posch, Giorgio Scalvini, Gianluca Scamacca, and Odilon Kossounou. It’s a genuine emergency situation for Atalanta.
