Double training session at the Centro Bortolotti
Serie A opener against Sassuolo at the New Balance Arena tomorrow
The Nerazzurri held a double training session at Zingonia today as they continued their preparations for tomorrow evening’s Serie A opener against Sassuolo, which kicks off at 20:45 CEST at the New Balance Arena.
During the morning session, Coach Sarri’s men began with a general activation phase before moving on to a defensive exercise. In the second session of the day, following a rondo and an initial technical warm-up, the team worked on a unit-based tactical drill. Eljif Elmas also joined the group in the afternoon for his first training session as an Atalanta player.
Charles De Ketelaere returned to full team training, while Scalvini underwent treatment, as did Kristensen following the effects of the left ankle sprain he sustained during Atalanta's home game against Hapoel Tel Aviv. Ahanor, Hien and Kamaldeen Sulemana continued with their respective rehabilitation programmes.
Tomorrow, Sunday 23 August, the team will return to the pitch in the morning at the Centro Bortolotti for their final training session ahead of the match.
