Atalanta finds itself having to manage an increasingly pressing injury situation, which is limiting coach Maurizio Sarri's ability to make full use of the squad built in the summer. After the first eight days of the championship, the Dea has collected ten points, with three wins, one draw and four defeats, and the next match is the away match against Fiorentina, scheduled for tomorrow evening at 8.45pm. The team will have to take advantage of the Viola's non-optimal conditions to try to consolidate their position in the standings.
Among the players most affected by the infirmary are Raoul Bellanova and Gianluca Scamacca, who are the last two to have been excluded from the team due to injuries. This situation makes it even more difficult for Sarri to plan matches, as the availability of key players is reduced. Faced with this scenario, the management, led by Cristiano Giuntoli, has decided not to look for new faces to include in the team for the January window, as the summer squad is already very deep and it is expected that the infirmary will gradually empty.
However, the club does not rule out the possibility of intervening in the transfer market. The managers will remain vigilant and ready to seize any opportunities that arise, although the main priority remains the rehabilitation of the unavailable players. It will be essential for Atalanta to recover the full availability of its players before focusing on further acquisitions.
In summary, Atalanta's immediate objective is to reduce the impact of injuries and ensure continuity on the pitch. Once the squad is complete again, the management will be able to evaluate the possibility of new purchases, but for now the strategy is to make the most of internal resources and recover the points necessary to maintain the ranking.
