sport">To be able to travel to the Netherlands, the German international has according to the Italian sports newspaper The Gazzetta dello Sport need a certificate officially confirming that he has tested false positive. That should be provided by the local health authority. According to La Gazzetto, the question is whether this will be in time for Gosens to travel along.
sport">Left back Gosens is an important link in Atalanta’s attacking game. Last season, he scored nine goals in Serie A and eight assists and also managed to score once in the Champions League. This season he has also made one in champion ball and has one goal and two assists to his name in Serie A.
sport">Gosens was missing due to a positive corona test on Sunday at the away game against Udinese, which would ultimately be canceled, because the field in Udine was unplayable due to excessive rainfall. With that Atalanta has the advantage of a weekend rest compared to Ajax.
sport">The Italians qualified directly for the knockout phase last season in the very first ever participation in the Champions League. That was special after taking only one point in the first four group matches. In the end Atalanta went on with only seven points, where, for example, Ajax was eliminated in another group with ten points. The Italians would then advance to the quarterfinals, in which Paris Saint-Germain thwarted a big stunt by two late goals.
sport">After Ajax’s loss against Liverpool last week and its own draw against FC Midtjylland, Atalanta is in a good starting position to reach the knockout phase of the Champions League again. The Italians need a draw in the Johan Cruijff ArenA on Wednesday to continue.
