Logs five interceptions versus Bologna
Djimsiti (hamstring) had four clearances, two blocks and five interceptions in Sunday's 1-0 loss to Bologna.
Analysis: Djimsiti didn't look hampered by his recent minor injury and put up good numbers, but his side allowed one goal. He has tallied three or more interceptions in five straight outings, amassing 23. Moreover, this marked his ninth appearance in a row with at least one tackle, for a total of 20 (11 won). He has also notched one or more clearances in nine consecutive displays, piling up 39 and contributing to one clean sheet during that stretch.
Starting in defense
Djimsiti (hamstring) is in the starting XI for Sunday's clash against Bologna.
Analysis: Djimsiti gutted it out through the soreness that had left him to be evaluated until the last moment, with the game-day assessment returning a positive outcome and coach Raffaele Palladino clearing him to start in what is a critically depleted defensive situation for Atalanta. His availability is a massive relief for a side already without Isak Hien through suspension and with Odilon Kossounou also unavailable, leaving the coaching staff with virtually no other options at the back. His willingness to push through the discomfort underlines the importance of the fixture and the extent to which Atalanta are relying on him to hold the defensive line together heading into the weekend.
