International duty: the September/October window's Curtain Call

The curtain came down on the Nerazzurri’s September/October international window on Tuesday 6 October, with Mario Pašalić and Eljif Elmas the last two Atalanta representatives to take to the pitch.

In Split, Pašalić was introduced in the 87th minute of Croatia’s 2-1 defeat to Spain, featuring in the closing stages of the contest.

Elmas, meanwhile, went the distance in Lucerne, playing the full 90 minutes as North Macedonia were beaten 3-0 by Switzerland.

Tuesday’s fixtures brought Atalanta’s international commitments to an end, with all 13 Nerazzurri (12 at senior level and Relja Obrić with Slovenia U21s) called up for the September/October window having now completed their national-team duties.
