Charles De Ketelaere and Giacomo Raspadori are unavailable for the Nerazzurri, so Lazar Samardzic and Nicola Zalewski will start as attacking midfielders behind the sole striker, Scamacca.

According to Gazzetta and Sky Sport Italia, Atalanta coach Raffaele Palladino will confirm the defence that beat Napoli last weekend with Giorgio Scalvini, Isak Hien and Sead Kolasinac starting in a three-man backline.

Davide Zappacosta and Lorenzo Bernasconi will start on the flanks with Marten De Roon and Ederson in the middle of the park.

Following their 2-0 loss in Germany last week, Atalanta will need a win by two goals to send the game to extra time.
