Latest Atalanta team news for Celtic clash in Champions League | OneFootball

Atalanta defender Sead Kolasinac was not seen on the pitch on Tuesday, so he’s unlikely to be available against Celtic tomorrow.

Kolasinac missed Atalanta’s 2-0 win over Venezia on Sunday due to illness and hasn’t yet recovered.

Sky Sport Italia attended the opening 15 minutes of Atalanta’s training session on Tuesday afternoon and reported that the ex-Arsenal defender was not on the pitch.

On the other hand, his teammate Isak Hien trained with the rest of the team during the warmup.

The Sweden international was replaced during the half-time break against Venezia on Sunday due to illness.

Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini already held a pre-match press conference today saying that he must deal with an “emergency” in defence, given that Hien and Kolasinac felt unwell.

However, based on Tuesday’s training, Hien is expected to be available, while Kolasinac should miss the game. Atalanta must also cope without the injured Odilon Kossounou and Giorgio Scalvini.

Kolasinac’s likely absence against Celtic means central midfielder Marten De Roon will probably play as a centre-back against Celtic on Wednesday.
