Marco Palestra News: Held in check by Atalanta

Palestra drew five fouls and had two shots (zero on goal), one tackle (zero won), two interceptions in Saturday's 2-1 defeat versus Atalanta.

Palestra was often roughed up before he could get going and wasn't as impactful as in previous tilts, failing to launch a cross for just the second time in the campaign and snapping a five-game streak of performances with at least one scoring chance. He provided two assists in the last four rounds and has taken at least one shot in the past three, totaling five (one on target).
