Ivan Juric meets his mentor Gian Piero Gasperini in TorinoAtalanta, but must cope without the injured Nemanja Radonjić, while Duvan Zapata will start for La Dea.

It kicks off at 19:45 GMT+1.

Torino are without David Zima, Ola Aina, Radonjic and Ronaldo Vieira. Pietro Pellegri is back but will start on the bench.

Juric still has a few doubts with Andrew Gravillon or Koffi Djidji starting in a three-man defence and Aleksei Miranchuk or Nikola Vlasic up front.

Torino lost four of the last six Serie A games against Atalanta in Serie A, as many as in the previous 19 meetings. The Granata did not manage to score more than one goal in each of the last five league matches.

Atalanta’s best scorer Ademola Lookman is still injured and the same is true of Matteo Ruggeri, Hans Hateboer, Caleb Okoli and Brandon Soppy.

Rasmus Højlund will initially go on the bench with Zapata starting up front for La Dea.

Atalanta won three of the last five Serie A games and beaten Torino in the last three away games in a row.
