Atalanta have confirmed their squad for the pivotal Scudetto showdown against league leaders Inter Milan, with Juan Cuadrado ruled out of contention against his former club, while Ederson is fit and available. The match is set to take place at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo on Sunday at 19:45 GMT.

With their Champions League and Coppa Italia campaigns now over, La Dea can fully concentrate on their Serie A title pursuit. However, they continue to grapple with a series of long-term injuries, with Odilon Kossounou, Gianluca Scamacca, and Giorgio Scalvini all sidelined.

January signing Stefan Posch, who arrived from Bologna, had made just a handful of appearances before suffering an injury setback, adding to Atalanta’s growing list of absentees.

Cuadrado, who started in last week’s emphatic 4-0 triumph over Juventus, sustained a muscular injury that forced him off at half-time, and he has not been named in the squad for the crucial encounter against Inter.

Meanwhile, Ederson, who had been a fitness doubt, has been included and is expected to start in midfield. However, Atalanta will also be without midfield option Ibrahim Sulemana, who remains unavailable.
