The Story in 60 Seconds

Atalanta striker Giacomo Raspadori is expected to be sidelined for at least three weeks after sustaining a muscle injury during a 3-1 UEFA Conference League victory against Pafos. Raspadori pulled up immediately after scoring a penalty on Thursday and was replaced by Charles De Ketelaere. Medical tests later confirmed a low-grade strain to the femoral bicep in his right thigh.

The setback worsens an ongoing injury crisis for Atalanta, with Giorgio Scalvini, Franck Kessie, Kamaldeen Sulemana, Isak Hien, and Odilon Kossounou also unavailable. Additionally, midfielder Eljif Elmas is suspended for the club's upcoming Serie A fixture against AC Milan.
