According to La Gazzetta dello Sport , this type of injury means that he is expected to be out of action for circa two months. Atalanta signed Sulemana from Southampton in the summer of 2025 for €17.5m plus add-ons. He has struggled to make an impact, contributing three goals and two assists in 37 competitive appearances for La Dea, with only 12 of those in the starting XI. The 24-year-old had been hoping for a stronger role at the club this season with the arrival of coach Maurizio Sarri and shift to a trident attacking formation.
