Latest team news for Atalanta vs AC Milan
Despite their recent winless streak, coach Ivan Juric has good news as Atalanta's injury list has narrowed considerably: only Mitchel Bakker and Giorgio Scalvini remain unavailable.
In the match against Cremonese, captain Marten de Roon had to drop back to play center-back, and it is currently unclear whether he will return to midfield — if he does, young center-back Honest Ahanor could be given a chance to start.
Up front, Lookman will compete for a starting spot with Kamaldeen Sulemana, Lazar Samardzic and former Milan player Charles De Ketelaere, while Krstovic and Scamacca continue to vie for the center forward position.
On Milan's side, the attack will most likely still feature Rafael Leao — who has scored three goals in the last two matches — but Santiago Gimenez may be relegated to the bench.
With Christian Pulisic still injured, and the Mexican striker playing rather poorly against Pisa, Allegri may rotate his squad, which is already severely depleted.
Pulisic, Adrien Rabiot, Pervis Estupinan, Ardon Jashari, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek are all recovering from injuries, but Loftus-Cheek has returned to training and may feature for a few minutes in this match.

Latest football match prediction: Atalanta vs AC Milan
Despite remaining the only undefeated team in Serie A this season, Atalanta is also becoming the "king of draws" in Italy, having shared points in 6 out of 8 matches.
Across all competitions, new coach Ivan Juric has only lost one match — away to European champions Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League — but his team has still struggled to secure complete victories.
Last weekend, La Dea were held to a 1-1 draw by their regional rivals Cremonese, with a stunning long-range strike from Marco Brescianini in the final minutes erasing Jamie Vardy's opening goal at the Zini Stadium.
That result extended Atalanta's run of five consecutive draws in Serie A — and seven of their last 11 matches across all competitions — leaving them trailing in the race for European qualification.
Strikers Nikola Krstovic and Gianluca Scamacca continue their goal drought, and since the beginning of October, the team in blue and black stripes has only scored two goals.
Although Ademola Lookman has just returned after a period of self-imposed "strike" to rest, Juric still has many strong attacking options at his disposal — but they will have to prove it when facing one of the most solid defenses in Serie A.
Last season, Atalanta defeated AC Milan both at home and away on their way to overtaking their Lombardy rivals for a higher finish; another victory this Tuesday night could be the turning point that ushers in a period of resurgence.
After losing 4 of their last 5 encounters, Milan's dominance in this matchup seemed to be a thing of the past.
However, the Rossoneri are experiencing a strong resurgence and are currently five points ahead of Atalanta before their trip to Bergamo — a gap that could have been even larger.
On Friday night, Milan surprisingly drew 2-2 with bottom-of-the-table Pisa at San Siro, only avoiding defeat thanks to a late equalizer from substitute Zachary Athekame in the 93rd minute.
The Swiss player unleashed a shot from nearly 30 meters, helping Milan salvage a point, but Napoli's subsequent victory over Inter cost Allegri's team the top spot in the league.
Nevertheless, Milan are currently unbeaten in eight consecutive matches across all competitions, and coach Max Allegri insists his goal is to qualify for the Champions League rather than compete for the Scudetto.
Having already defeated Napoli, Milan will face further challenges to their ambitions this week, taking on Atalanta and Roma in quick succession — followed by a fiery derby against Inter at the end of next month.
