The Atalanta injury crisis is intensifying with news Daniel Maldini will also miss tomorrow’s trip to Hellas Verona.

It kicks off at the Stadio Bentegodi on Saturday at 14.00 GMT.

La Dea have been stuttering lately with just one victory in the last six Serie A rounds.

Part of that is down to the growing injury list that coach Gian Piero Gasperini is dealing with, including season-ending surgery for Gianluca Scamacca and Giorgio Scalvini.

Ademola Lookman, Sead Kolasinac, Odilon Kossounou and goalkeeper Marco Carnesecchi are all ruled out of the visit to Verona.

It was hoped that Maldini would make his full debut for Atalanta following his transfer from Monza, but he too is not even in the travelling party because of a muscular issue.

It means Gasperini should have roughly the same line-up that lost the Coppa Italia quarter-final to Bologna on Tuesday.

Atalanta squad for Verona:

Bellanova, Brescianini, Cassa, Cuadrado, De Ketelaere, de Roon, Djimsiti, Éderson, Hien, Obrić, Palestra, Pašalić, Posch, Retegui, Rossi, Ruggeri, Rui Patrício, Samardzić, Sulemana, Toloi, Vismara, Vlahović, Zappacosta.
