Atalanta are going to be without defender Jose Luis Palomino for at least five to six weeks due to a thigh injury.
A statement from the club medical staff confirmed that the centre-back had been diagnosed with a 3B lesion to the semi-tendon of the left thigh.
This type of injury usually requires circa five to six weeks out of action.
He joins summer signing El Bilal Toure on the treatment table, who is expected to be out until 2024.
