Champions League line-ups: Club Brugge vs. Atalanta

Atalanta hope Mateo Retegui can continue his spectacular recent form away to Club Brugge in the Champions League play-off, but are decimated by injuries.

It kicks off at the Jan Breydelstadion in Bruges at 17.45 GMT.

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from this game and Feyenoord-Milan on the Liveblog.

La Dea had an excellent Champions League campaign, missing out on direct access to the Round of 16 by only one point.

Atalanta are still unbeaten on their travels in Europe this term, winning three and drawing 2-2 away to Barcelona.

However, it has taken a lot out of them with Ademola Lookman, Daniel Maldini, Sead Kolasinac, Odilon Kossounou, Giorgio Scalvini and Gianluca Scamacca injured.

Matteo Ruggeri is also left behind with flu symptoms, which continue to bother goalkeeper Marco Carnesecchi.

Charles De Ketelaere faces his former club, but all eyes are on Retegui, who has 23 goals in 33 competitive games for Atalanta this season.

Club Brugge beat Aston Villa and Sporting CP in the league phase, while holding Juventus to a 0-0 draw, faltering 3-1 away to Milan when down to 10 men.

They are currently second in their domestic league, six points behind KRC Genk.

Maxim De Cuyper is one to watch after his sensational goal for Belgium against Italy, but Christos Tzolis is their top scorer on 12 goals.
