Atalanta are set to start Josip Ilicic against former club Fiorentina in the Coppa Italia semi-finals this evening.
Mario Pasalic scored Atalanta’s winner at Napoli on Monday, but he is likely to make way for Ilicic on the left wing after he recovered from a knee problem.
The Slovene scored 37 goals and provided 19 assists in 138 appearances for the Viola before his move to the Dea in the summer of 2017.

The Slovene scored 37 goals and provided 19 assists in 138 appearances for the Viola before his move to the Dea in the summer of 2017.
However, Gian Piero Gasperini’s side will be without defender Rafael Toloi, who will miss the rest of the season after undergoing surgery.
Fiorentina, meanwhile, have yet to win in their two games back under Vincenzo Montella but lost narrowly to champions Juventus last time out.
Montella also has a fully-fit squad to choose from, barring winger Marko Pjaca and backup goalkeeper Pietro Terracciano.
The first leg ended 3-3 at the Artemio Franchi in February, with Atalanta boosted by three away goals.
Atalanta (probable): Gollini; Mancini, Djimsiti, Palomino; Castagne, De Roon, Freuler, Gosens; Ilicic, Gomez; Zapata
Fiorentina (probable): Lafont; Milenkovic, Pezzella, Ceccherini, Biraghi; Dabo, Veretout, Gerson; Mirallas, Muriel, Chiesa
