This morning a Ryanair plane connecting Barcelona to Orio al Serio had a technical problem upon landing, causing a tire puncture on the undercarriage. This forced the Bergamo airport authorities to temporarily close the airport, also involving Atalanta in this inconvenience. Because the Nerazzurri should have left for Gelsenkirchen – where they will play tomorrow against Shakhtar from Donetsk – with a late afternoon flight.
Precisely for this reason, until recently, Atalanta was still trying to understand whether it would be possible to depart from Orio Al Serio airport or if the choice had to be diverted to another airport. In these minutes the choice fell on Verona airport, with departure at 4.30pm. Then in the evening there should be a press conference by coach Gian Piero Gasperini, plus striker Charles De Ketelaere.
The coach, however, will have to do without Matteo Ruggerileft back who suffered knee pain in his left knee. The player will not leave with the team for Gelsenkirchen and will undergo diagnostic tests in the next few hours. At this point, a diversion of Zappacosta to the left lane is likely, even if Cuadrado is clamoring for a starting shirt.
