Atalanta return to the pitch after suffering Champions League elimination against a Verona side that have lost just one of their last five matches.
Igor Tudor is still unbeaten at home this season. Verona have lost two games at the Bentegodi in 2021-22, but with Eusebio Di Francesco in charge.
The Croatian tactician has four players out of action, including Nikola Kalinic who won’t return before new year.
Gian Piero Gasperini must cope without the suspended Ruslan Malinovskyi and the injured Robin Gosens.
Duvan Zapata expected to start over Luis Muriel up front.
