Group A, the Nerazzurri host Virtus Verona. The first leg was a comeback victory

Home round for Atalanta U23 who today at 15pm, at the Comunale di Caravaggio, hosts Virtus Verona looking for a fundamental success after two consecutive defeats in the derby with Lumezzane and Pergolettese. Bergamaschi still remained in fourth place with 40 points, Veronesi eleventh with 33 points but on a positive streak after two victories against the leaders Padova by 1-0 and the previous week on the field of Renate by 3-0. The Nerazzurri in the last hours of the market brought home the class of 2003 Ceresoli and Vismara, returned from their respective loans in Serie B, to Catanzaro and Sampdoria.

The winger should start today, while the goalkeeper will be available as a third in the first team while waiting for Carnesecchi's return, together with his teammates Cassa, Vlahovic and Obric called up by Gasperini after the injuries of Maldini and Scamacca. Dea decimated by absences: the suspended Lonardo and Panada and the injured Comi, Tornaghi, Scheffer and De Nipoti will be missing. "We have to reset our minds, we will be ready", explained winger Lorenzo Bernasconi (in the photo). In the first leg in Verona, Modesto's team came from behind to win 2-1 with goals from Navarro and Alessio.

Probable formation (3-4-1-2): Pardel; Berto, Bergonzi, Navarro; Ceresoli, Gyabuaa, Manzoni, Bernasconi; Artesani; Vavassori, Alessio.
