Mateo Retegui challenges Ademola Lookman and Charles De Ketelaere for a starting spot in the Atalanta attack for a big game against Napoli.
It kicks off at 20:45 CET (19:45 GMT) and it is a key meeting in the race for the title.
Atalanta sit third in the table with 43 points, four below the Partenopei, who are table leaders.
La Divinità must cope without the injured Odilon Kossounou, Gianluca Scamacca and Juan Cuadrado, while Sead Kolasinac is suspended.
Retegui returned to action on Tuesday, scoring the equaliser against Juventus. According to Sky Sport Italia, he will begin on the bench again today, but Gazzetta claims the Italian will start with Lookman in the Nerazzurri attack.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia officially joined PSG on Friday, so Alessandro Buongiorno is the only unavailable player for Napoli.
Antonio Conte is not expected to make any line-up change except for Mathias Olivera, who returns from an injury and will start as a left-back.
