Atalanta are decimated by various problems, so Mateo Retegui and Charles De Ketelaere are the only available strikers for the trip to Lecce.

It kicks off at the Stadio Via del Mare at 17.30 UK time (16.30 GMT).

La Dea were in action on Wednesday in the UEFA Super Cup in Warsaw, holding out for an hour against Real Madrid before eventually capitulating 2-0.

However, their situation has become even more dire since then, as after Teun Koopmeiners, now Ademola Lookman is also refusing to play as he tries to push for a transfer.

Add injuries for Nicolò Zaniolo, Gianluca Scamacca, Rafael Toloi, Sead Kolasinac and Giorgio Scalvini, with El Bilal Toure on the verge of a move to Stuttgart, and there are precious few options available.

New signing Mateo Retegui gets his first start, as does Marco Brescianini on the debut just days after completing the transfer from Frosinone.

Lecce started their season already too, beating Mantova 2-1 in the Coppa Italia and building on the good work done last term by Luca Gotti.

Mohamed Kaba and Joan Gonzalez are out of action, but new signings Andy Pelmard and Lassana Coulibaly are on the bench.

Lecce vs. Atalanta line-ups

Lecce: Falcone; Gendrey, Gaspar, Baschirotto, Gallo; Ramadani, Pierret; Morente, Rafia, Dorgu; Krstovic

Atalanta: Musso; Djimsiti, Hien, De Roon; Zappacosta, Ederson, Pasalic, Ruggeri; Brescianini; De Ketelaere, Retegui
