“He’s got a very good chance of playing from the start,” said the Coach. “I hope he scores two goals, so that he can go down in history as the most prolific foreign player in an Atalanta shirt.

“He really wants to make his mark and deserves a goodbye brace in front of the fans. He can also wear the captain’s armband and deserves gratitude from the supporters.”

Denis is on his way back to Argentina for Independiente, while Marco Borriello arrived this week from Carpi.

“Borriello has been training regularly, but is lacking a little match fitness. My idea is to play 3-4-3, but it is a very difficult game against Sassuolo.

“I just hope nobody else leaves before the transfer window closes.”

Atalanta squad for Sassuolo: Bassi, Radunovic, Sportiello; Brivio, Cherubin, Conti, Djimsiti, Dramè, Masiello, Raimondi;  Cigarini, D'Alessandro, De Roon, Diamanti, Estigarribia, Freuler, Kurtic, Migliaccio; Borriello, Denis, Gakpé, Gomez, Monachello
