Coach Zinedine Zidane seems set to cope without Rodrygo, Sergio Ramos, Eden Hazard, Marcelo, whilst Eder Miliato and Alvaro Odriozola are uncertain.

“I don’t understand the reason for all these injuries, I’m worried,” Zidane said at the post-match press conference.

“I’m sorry for Carvajal, he played well for 25 minutes and he is a very important player for us. Clearly I feel sorry for him, I can’t explain all these injuries to myself.”

Atalanta host Napoli this weekend and are unbeaten in four games ahead of the two big matches against the Partenopei and Los Blancos at the Gewiss Stadium.
