Atalanta vs Udinese Matchday Squad Update

Matchday squad update: Atalanta vs Udinese

Venue: New Balance Arena, Bergamo – 7 March 2026, Serie A (Round 28).

Atalanta come in 7th with a +13 goal difference and strong home form (22 scored in 14), while Udinese sit 10th with a negative goal difference and a mixed away record.

Atalanta availability

Atalanta face several key concerns. Charles De Ketelaere is ruled out with a knee injury, removing an important creative presence between the lines. Éderson is doubtful due to a muscle problem, while Giacomo Raspadori (thigh) and Giorgio Scalvini (knee) are also uncertain and may require late fitness tests. In attack, however, Nikola Krstović – the club’s leading league contributor with 7 goals and 4 assists – is fully available and expected to shoulder much of the offensive burden.

Udinese availability

Udinese have three confirmed absentees at the back: Nadir Bertola (ankle), Oumar Solet (muscle) and Alessandro Zanoli (knee) are all ruled out, weakening defensive depth. Midfielder Aboubakar Atta is doubtful with a muscle injury. In attack, top scorer Keinan Davis is fit and available, bringing 8 goals and 3 assists in Serie A so far.

Impact summary

Atalanta’s main damage is to their supporting cast and balance, while Udinese’s issues are primarily defensive. Crucially, both sides retain their leading forwards, Krstović and Davis, preserving most of the expected attacking output for this fixture.
