There is another addition to the long absentee list for Atalanta, as Sead Kolasinac has pulled out of tomorrow’s match against Venezia.

It kicks off at the Stadio Penzo on Sunday at 14.00 UK time (13.00 GMT).

La Dea were already dealing with a lengthy group of absentees as the squad is struggling to keep up with the commitments of Serie A, the Champions League, Coppa Italia and European Super Cup.

The problems are largely in defence, where they are missing Odilon Kossounou, Rafael Toloi and Giorgio Scalvini, though Berat Djimsiti is at least back in the group.

Kolasinac has not made the trip to Venezia as he is suffering from flu symptoms, report Sky Sport Italia.

Also absent for Atalanta are Marco Brescianini and Gianluca Scamacca, but Matteo Ruggeri is available following a knee issue.
