Atalanta lose Raspadori for three weeks with new injury

Atalanta lose Raspadori for three weeks with new injury Atalanta and Italy international Giacomo Raspadori is out for at least three weeks after tests on the injury sustained in the Conference League. The striker pulled up with a grimace on his face straight after converting the penalty in the 3-1 victory over Pafos on Thursday evening, then limped off the field to be substituted by Charles De Ketelaere.

A statement from the Atalanta medical staff today confirmed this is a low grade strain of the femoral bicep in the right thigh. Sky Sport Italia calculate that Raspadori will be out of action for at least three weeks, so it is possible he won’t be available until after the next break for international duty.
