What Kind of Sassuolo Will We See in Bergamo?

The usual starters were rested against Genoa, and changes may come against Atalanta. Berardi, who scored on Monday versus Genoa, is in the mix despite recent squad rotations.

Rotation and Fatigue Concerns

After a demanding week with three games, and considering Muharemovic's return alongside Volpato's absence, coach Fabio Grosso faces decisions ahead of the midweek match. So far, he has never fielded the same starting lineup twice, whether by necessity or choice.

Possible Approaches for the Starting Eleven

Maintain the same lineup that lost to Genoa, giving those players a chance to redeem themselves immediately.
Introduce a couple of new starters to inject fresh energy into a squad that showed signs of fatigue on Monday night.

Despite the allowance of five substitutions, the team has heavy reliance on a core group, resulting in extended playing time and physical strain for certain players.

"It's true that there are five substitutions and that the black-and-green coach uses them systematically, but it's equally true that relatively rigid hierarchies have forced overtime from a unit that has been on the pitch, and from the start, practically every time."

Summary

The coach must balance between consistency and freshness, managing player fatigue while seeking improved performance against Atalanta.

Author's summary: Sassuolo's coach faces a tough choice between rewarding continuity or refreshing the squad to combat fatigue and seek better results in the upcoming match.
