Atalanta will challenge Cesena tomorrow in the round of 16 of the Italian Cup and will do so without four players. As gathered by TMW, Matteo Ruggeri, Giorgio Scalvini and Gianluca Scamacca will not take part in the match at the Gewiss Stadium. Today they all underwent therapy, with the left back still not recovering from the blunt trauma to his right foot suffered in the championship match against Cagliari. Tomorrow Gasperini will announce his squad, which will not even include Juan Cuadrado, who is disqualified.
