“Bartosz Salamon did train on Saturday, but needs to be evaluated,” added Baroni in his Press conference.

“We are missing many players, but I have no doubts we will put in a great performance. What counts for me right now is who we do have available and that will certainly include a few youth team players.

“Atalanta are one of the form teams in Serie A and are feeling confident, so we respect them a great deal, but I also have faith in Frosinone. We’ve got to rely on what is within us.

“I know the fans, who are extraordinary, needs action rather than words right now. We need a vigorous performance and must not be afraid of facing the biggest obstacles. I want to see a team with courage.”

Frosinone had frozen Paolo Sammarco out, but the 35-year-old midfielder has been recalled after the Christmas break.

“We’ll continue playing with three at the back, as it seems absurd to dismantle a team that was built with this approach. We’ll see how things develop over the next few weeks.

“Sammarco has a lot of experience and we need a playmaker, so he can give us his support going forward.”

Also included in the squad is Luca Valzania, who just arrived on loan from today’s opponents Atalanta.

Frosinone squad for Atalanta: Sportiello, Iacobucci, Marcianò; Brighenti, Beghetto, Goldaniga, Ghiglione, Krajnc, Molinaro, Salamon, Verde; Besea, Cassata, Chibsah, Maiello, Gori, Sammarco, Valzania; Campbell, Matarese, Pinamonti
