Celtic have received a boost ahead of their UEFA Champions League match against Atalanta, as the Italian side will be without several key players. Atalanta are facing an injury crisis, with up to six international players potentially missing the game. Among those ruled out are central defender Sead Kolašinac, who is suffering from flu, and captain Rafael Toloi, who is sidelined with an injury. Additionally, Ivory Coast full-back Odilon Kossounou and Italy international striker Gianluca Scamacca are also set to miss the match.
Further weakening Atalanta, midfielders Marco Brescianini and Giorgio Scalvini will be unavailable due to injuries. The Italian club, who have had a mixed start to their Champions League campaign with a draw against Arsenal and a win over Shakhtar Donetsk, will face Celtic in a critical match for both teams.
Celtic, having won their opening match against Slovan Bratislava but suffering a heavy defeat to Borussia Dortmund, will be looking to take advantage of Atalanta’s depleted squad as they seek a positive result in Italy.
This injury situation could provide an opportunity for Celtic to capitalize and boost their chances in the competition.
