The Atalanta-Como match, originally scheduled for Monday, has been postponed until Tuesday evening, with coaches Gian Piero Gasperini and Cesc Fabregas having the freedom to make changes to their starting lineups.

The Serie A fifth-round final match between Atalanta and Como at Bergamo’s Gewiss stadium was called off on Monday evening after four pitch inspections because heavy rain made the pitch unsafe.

The match has been rescheduled for Tuesday evening, kicking off at 7.45pm UK time.

Atalanta and Como could change lineups for postponed Serie A match

Gasperini and Fabregas have already announced their starting lineups squads, but as Goal.com reportsCoaches may change lineups for today’s match.

The match has not started, so Gasperini and Fabregas have the opportunity to make changes to the starting line-up.

However, it seems unlikely that the coaches will select any other players for today’s match unless there is a last-minute injury.

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

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