In a major move for Atalanta, teenage defender Giorgio Scalvini has returned to the team for the next game against Parma following a protracted recuperation from a serious knee injury. He made his comeback a little more than 170 days after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament on June 2, 2024, while playing against Fiorentina. In addition to being noteworthy for its quickness, Scalvini's recuperation may have an effect on Atalanta's defence lineup as they go with their Serie A season. 

Recovery from an ACL injury usually takes at least six months, according to Gianluca Di Marzio, thus Scalvini's comeback to the team in little over five months is very noteworthy. Even if it is doubtful that he will play a significant role in the game against Parma, his bench placement is a step in the right direction for his recovery. To prevent any setbacks, Gian Piero Gasperini, the coach of Atalanta, is anticipated to gradually reintegrate Scalvini into the squad.
