Tommaso Baldanzi out injured vs Atalanta | OneFootball

Tomorrow evening, at the New Balance Arena, the Gian Piero Gasperini will enter the stadium that was his home for nine seasons.

The goal is clear: to start 2026 by reversing the negative trend in head-to-head matches and consolidate fourth place against Palladino’s Atalanta, hurt by the recent home defeat against Inter.

The march to Bergamo hasn’t been without obstacles.

A flu wave has hit Trigoria in the last few hours, but Gasperini expressed confidence in his press conference: “We have some players with injuries, but we expect to recover those who have had the flu. Hermoso is fine and will lead the defense. A few players remain doubtful, but I’m convinced that in the end, we’ll all be there.”

While the Spaniard will grit his teeth despite his groin pain, bad news comes from the offensive department.

Tommaso Baldanzi has been forced to withdraw due to a muscle problem in his right rectus femoris, sustained during the final training session.

His condition will be evaluated in the coming days, but his absence will impact the midfield rotation.
