Italian football clubs Lecce and Atalanta are preparing for upcoming competitive cycles following the international break.

Lecce midfielder Ivan Ilić, who joined on loan from Torino, expressed satisfaction with the trust shown by coach Eusebio Di Francesco. Ilić, who provided two assists in his recent start against Monza, is focused on helping the team achieve its goal of remaining in Serie A. The team is preparing for a home match against Bologna.

Atalanta is returning to full strength as players like Elmas and Pasalic complete their international duties. The squad faces a demanding schedule of nine matches over four weeks, including fixtures in the Conference League against Pafos and Kairat, as well as Serie A matches against Venezia, Milan, Frosinone, Fiorentina, Parma, and Monza.
