Atalanta and Como allowed to change line-ups in rescheduled Serie A fixture

Atalanta-Como, initially scheduled for Monday, has been postponed to Tuesday evening, and coaches Gian Piero Gasperini and Cesc Fabregas are free to change the starting lineups.

The final game of Serie A Round 5 between Atalanta and Como at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo was called off Monday night after two pitch inspections as torrential rain made the field unsafe.

The fixture has been rescheduled to Tuesday evening, kicking off at 19:45 UK time.

Atalanta and Como allowed to change line-ups in rescheduled Serie A fixture

Gasperini and Fabregas had already announced their starting lineups, but as Goal.com reported, coaches can change their XIs for tonight’s game.

The match has never begun, so Gasperini and Fabregas are allowed to make any changes to their starting formations.

However, it seems unlikely that coaches will pick different starters for tonight’s fixture unless there are last-minute injuries.

Gasperini had chosen Mario Pasalic, Charles De Ketelaere and Mateo Retegui for the Atalanta attack, leaving Ademola Lookman initially on the bench.

Fabregas replaced Alessio Iovine with Ignace Van Der Brempt at right-back and started Alieu Fadera for the second time in a row, benching Andrea Belotti.
