Afternoon workout ahead of Conference League opener
Two days to go until Atalanta v Hapoel Tel-Aviv
Atalanta were back at work at the Centro Bortolotti today, with coach Sarri and his staff overseeing a late-afternoon training session. On Thursday 20 August, the Nerazzurri will take to the pitch at the New Balance Arena in Bergamo at 20:30 CEST for the first leg of the 2026/27 UEFA Conference League play-offs.
Today’s session began with a brief technical warm-up, followed by a 10-a-side game on a reduced-size pitch and a drill focused on the defensive phase. De Ketelaere and Ahanor continued with treatment, while Vismara once again trained individually. Hien and Kamaldeen continued their respective rehabilitation programmes.
Tomorrow, Wednesday 19 August, following the pre-match press conference scheduled for 15:30 CEST at the New Balance Academy, the team will continue preparations with a training session at 18:00 CEST in Zingonia.
