Scalvini gives Atalanta positive boost ahead of competition resumption

Atalanta have received a positive boost as defender Giorgio Scalvini has returned to training with the Italy national team after missing out due to precautionary measures following an ankle knock sustained in the recent Juventus match.

Giorgio Scalvini participated fully in Italy's training session on Thursday, confirming his recovery from injury and that there are no physical issues preventing him from continuing training. This is important news for Atalanta given the defensive crisis the team is currently experiencing.

The return of Italian defender Giorgio Scalvini is becoming increasingly important for coach Maurizio Sarri, following Odilon Kossounou's thigh muscle injury that will keep him out for a period of up to two or three months. Meanwhile, Isaac Hien is still far from returning, making Scalvini one of the key options available in central defense.

Scalvini is currently one of Sarri's key options in the backline, especially as Atalanta faces a busy period of matches. The player continues to work on adapting to the four-man defensive system that the Italian coach relies on this season.
