Atalanta Star Charles De Ketelaere Set to Play Against Hapoel Tel Aviv in Conference League Playoff

Atalanta's Belgian international Charles De Ketelaere is expected to feature in the upcoming Conference League playoff second-leg match against Hapoel Tel Aviv. The match is scheduled for Thursday at 21:00, with Hapoel hosting the Serie A side after a goalless draw in Bergamo. Unlike the first leg, Atalanta appears likely to field a stronger squad this time. De Ketelaere, who came on as a substitute in Atalanta's recent 2-1 win over Sassuolo, is anticipated to play a significant role in the crucial fixture. However, Atalanta will be without Nigerian defender Honest Ahanor, 18, and Danish international Thomas Kristensen. Another defender, Odilon Kossounou, has returned to training but remains under workload monitoring by the coaching staff. The match outcome will determine which team advances to the Conference League group stage.
