Atalanta are not the only ones with injury problems, as Eduardo Camavinga is reportedly out of the Real Madrid squad for the UEFA Super Cup after a knock in training.
The big match kicks off at the National Stadium in Warsaw on Wednesday at 20.00 UK time (19.00 GMT).
Real Madrid scare for Camavinga
Camavinga was taking part in the training session in the arena after their press commitments and was spotted going to ground, surrounded by anxious teammates.
It is claimed he was hurt in an accidental collision with Aurelien Tchouameni.
He walked off the field, more angry than upset, and did not seem to be limping particularly heavily on his left leg.
Nonetheless, initial reports from Cope, Diario AS and Marca suggest that Real Madrid staff decided not to take any risks with Camavinga until he has undergone further testing in Madrid on Thursday.
They are therefore ruling him out of the match tomorrow against Atalanta.
La Dea have been decimated by problems going into this showdown, missing Gianluca Scamacca, Nicolò Zaniolo, Giorgio Scalvini, Rafael Toloi and Teun Koopmeiners for various reasons.
This will be the battle between the winners of the Champions League and the Europa League holders.
