Atalanta start Mateo Retegui and Ademola Lookman despite a muscular issue, as they host a Lecce side in mourning.

It kicks off at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo at 19.45 UK time (18.45 GMT, 20.45 CET).

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from today’s seven Serie A games on the Liveblog.

This fixture was originally meant to be on Friday evening, but was postponed when Lecce were struck by the tragic death of physiotherapist Graziano Fiorita.

He had worked for the club for over 20 years and Lecce had protested they were asked to play so soon after the shock on Thursday.

Despite threats not to make the trip, and Atalanta fans ready to go on strike in solidarity, Lecce flew up earlier today, but will wear a blank jersey in protest.

Atalanta surprisingly can count on Capocannoniere Retegui from the start, despite the fact he sustained a muscular problem in training, with Sead Kolasinac, Stefan Posch, Gianluca Scamacca and Giorgio Scalvini out of action.

Lecce have star striker Nikola Krstovic and midfielder Medon Berisha suspended, with the season over for Gaby Jean and Filip Marchwinski, so veteran Ante Rebic steps in.

The Salentini went into the weekend just one point clear of the relegation zone, as they are without a victory in 10 Serie A rounds.
