There are reports Atalanta will be without striker Duvan Zapata for at least a month after spraining his knee.
According to L’Eco di Bergamo newspaper and Sportitalia, the Colombia international’s knock proved worse than previously thought.
Although the official statement on the club website only notes that he is training separately from the group, the suggestion is that this could be a serious setback.
It can also have a knock-on effect for the transfer market, as Duvan Zapata is Inter’s first choice to replace Romelu Lukaku.
La Dea have set an asking price of at least €30m plus bonuses, which the Nerazzurri are seemingly not prepared to pay.
The 30-year-old forward will also miss the upcoming World Cup qualifiers in Colombia.
