Counter-order to the green line in Thursday's Europa League with Rakow and Kolasinac in doubt.
They are the certainty and doubt at Atalanta on the eve of the postponement against Salernitana. A match between former players, Inzaghi and Lovato for the Granata and Ederson for the Nerazzurri, to move up the standings that counts being able to focus on a single front until March.
For Kolasinac, a pillar of the defense, absent for three games after playing with a sprained left ankle against Napoli and Sporting Lisbon, the last tryout on Monday morning was decisive. All the starters who have been retired in the European runway after qualifying for the round of 16 have already been obtained. Scalvini and Djimsiti ahead of Musso, with a run-off, if the Bosnian does not recover, between De Roon and the young Bonfanti, the debutant in Poland on target.
Zappacosta and Ruggeri return on the wings, Ederson in midfield with De Roon or Pasalic, Koopmeiners behind the strikers who should be Lookman and De Ketelaere, the only one along with Pasalic and Hateboer, among the starters, to have played on Thursday. Up front, however, after the second double of the season (in Graz the first), the veteran Muriel is also a candidate from the start, whose contract is expiring but good at recovering the form of the good times in a crucial phase of the season. It is unlikely that any striking news will emerge from the usual pre-tactic of silence observed by coach Gasperini on his return from UEFA commitments.
