Atalanta Looks to Lookman and De Ketelaere in Marseille Champions League Clash

Atalanta is set to face Marseille in a crucial Champions League match at the Stade Velodrome this evening. The Italian side has traveled to France without the injured Giorgio Scalvini and Marco Brescianini, but Sead Kolasinac is back in the squad after recovering from a knee injury he suffered last season.

Despite the absences, Atalanta is expected to rely on the attacking duo of Ademola Lookman and Charles De Ketelaere to lead their charge. Mario Pasalic is also expected to play as an attacking midfielder, providing additional firepower.

In midfield, Marten De Roon returns to the starting XI after missing Atalanta's 1-0 loss against Udinese on Saturday. The team's defensive setup remains uncertain, with reports suggesting a mix of Honest Ahanor and Odilon Kossounou in the backline.
