For the last match before OM-Atalanta, Gianluca Scamacca was unable to play on Sunday against Empoli. The Bergamo striker suffers from muscle discomfort.
At Olympique de Marseille, we have gotten into the habit of counting our injured in recent weeks, and Jean-Louis Gasset has often had to tinker to build his eleven. But on the Atalanta Bergamo side, there is also its small share of uncertainties before the Europa League semi-final between the two clubs.
For the Italian team, the main concern concerns Gianluca Scamacca. The Italian international is the man in form of the moment in the Bergamo attack, with 8 goals scored in 10 games, and his brilliant performance against Fiorentina in the Italian Cup illustrates the extent to which the former player from Sassuolo has regained his confidence and his feelings after his failed stint with West Ham.
Scamacca uncertain in Marseille?
Sunday, Scamacca did not play with the Dea against Empoli (2-0), and it was not a tactical choice on the part of Gian Piero Gasperini. The Atalanta coach explained that his striker was suffering from muscle discomfort, and that he was not available to take part in this meeting. We will have to wait and see how his injury progresses, but there is therefore uncertainty regarding Scamacca before the trip to Marseille on Thursday.
Without its usual number 9, Atalanta started against Empoli with a certain El-Bilal Touré, the former Stade de Reims player, at the forefront. The Lombard goals were scored by Mario Pasalic from the penalty spot and by the other striker to watch, the Nigerian Ademola Lookman.
