Atalanta, Gasperini reassures on condition of De Ketelaere and Scalvini
Gian Piero Gasperini’s statements ahead of Atalanta-Sturm Graz
On the eve of the match that is valid for the fourth day of the Europa League against Sturm Graz, Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini, at the microphones of "Sky Sport", wanted to shed light on the injury issue.
"We will have absentees, but they are not serious injuries. Ankle è turned for Ruggeri, knee for De Ketelaere and low back for Scalvini. With close games it can happen to all teams and now è it is our turn. Right now we are in an emergency, but we will try to overcome it well. Charles’ probelma is not è a serious thing, he needs a little bit of time. It is a fairly common and trivial injury" began the coach of the orobici.
"Tomorrow è a definitely important game, becauseé è the fourth in the round out of six, but probably not è yet decisive. In fact, we hope to get a good result so that the one with Sporting can become decisive. We will be playing at home and this should give us an additional stimulus to do a very good match and win the three points" continued the former Genoa coach.
"With Inter we did a good performance so we hoped to get at least a point. It wasn't so, we put our heads on the Europa League. All our attention must be on this match" added the coach of the "Dea" regarding the ko with the Nerazzurri.
"L’andataè was a moment of difficultyà in the initial part of the match, becauseé in Europe you always meet teams used to being in the upper parts of the standings and scoring goals. We had a drop in conviction at the moment when we had the match in hand. It seemed like there was no chance for the opponent, instead then è an episode was enough and we drew a match that was to be won. Now è another match and we will need a very attentive and concentrated Atalanta" commented Gian Piero Gasperini.
