Sebastian Walukiewicz

Analysis: Walukiewicz was questionable heading into Sunday and will not be an option for his club, with his undisclosed injury too much to play through. This leaves the club without a starting center-back to enter the season, as he started in 33 of his 24 appearances last campaign. There was some optimism he would be an option against Atalanta, so the hope will be that he returns next contest.

Signed permanently by Sassuolo

Walukiewicz has been bought out by Sassuolo from Torino following a season-long loan spell.

Analysis: Walukiewicz will stay at Sassuolo for the foreseeable future after a productive campaign during which he was a day-one start at right-back and totaled 50 tackles, 108 clearances and 25 interceptions in 34 appearances, contributing to six clean sheets. It remains to be seen whether he'll stay on the wing or if he'll move to the middle of the defense down the line, depending on his team's plans on the transfer market.
