Registers five tackles versus Bologna
Scalvini (ankle) drew two fouls and had three clearances, one interception and five tackles (two won) in Sunday's 1-0 defeat versus Bologna.
Analysis: Scalvini recovered extremely quickly from an ankle sprain and played the whole game, turning in a solid shift and matching his season high in tackles, but his team conceded once. He has tallied at least one tackle in the last five tilts, amassing 17. Additionally, this marked his fourth straight game with one or more interceptions, for a total of 11. Finally, he has logged one or more tackles in seven fixtures in a row, racking up 15 (six won), scoring and assisting once and helping secure two clean sheets during that stretch.
Finds starting role
Scalvini (ankle) is in the starting XI for Sunday's clash against Bologna.
Analysis: Scalvini defied the initial belief that his season was over, passing the late fitness test that had been set to determine his availability after working on grass in recent days and recovering more quickly than expected. The defender has tallied at least one tackle in six straight outings, all starts, totaling 10 tackles, 14 interceptions and 17 clearances over that span while helping secure two clean sheets, scoring and assisting once, and his return is a timely boost for an Atalanta side already dealing with injury concerns surrounding Sead Kolasinac. His ability to earn a starting role after being initially ruled out for the season is a remarkable turnaround that gives the coaching staff a much-needed defensive option heading into the weekend.
