Atalanta

Jonathan Rowe and Nicola Zalewski are competing for the same spot behind Nikola Krstović against Kairat Almaty. Rowe started the most recent game against Parma, while Zalewski has a goal and two assists in his recent appearances.

Giorgio Scalvini is in line to continue after making his first start in the last five matches against Parma. Thomas Kristensen, who started four of those five matches, did not feature against Parma and is not expected to start this time. Isak Hien remains unavailable with a muscle problem.

Gianluca Scamacca took part in a full team training session this week, and Sarri said the forward was working towards a return, though his availability for Thursday remains uncertain.

Kairat Almaty

Temirlan Anarbekov and Erkin Tapalov are both expected to return from the start after not playing against Altay, when Sherkhan Kalmurza and Ismail Bekbolat were given their first starts of this run. Neither Kalmurza nor Bekbolat is expected to retain his place. Gustavo Mendonça is also set to return in midfield after Damir Kasabulat started once in that position.

In attack, Marc Gual is expected to lead the line, having scored once in his five starts. Olzhas Baybek is in line to join Aleksandr Martynovich in the back four, with Aleksandr Shirobokov, who had the larger share of starts in central defence during this run, expected to miss out.
