Atalanta's Scalvini Faces Three-Week Layoff With Left Hamstring Strain

The first-degree hamstring strain is expected to sideline the 21-year-old for about three weeks, pressuring Ivan Juric's reshaped back line.

Overview

  • Medical exams identified a first-degree lesion of the left biceps femoris sustained against Lazio, according to reports.
  • Reporting indicates an absence of roughly three weeks, with Scalvini set to miss Slavia Prague, Cremonese, Milan, Udinese and Sassuolo, and Gazzetta also lists Marseille.
  • The injury comes immediately after his return from an adductor issue earlier this season.
  • Juric is weighing defensive adjustments, with 2008-born Ahanor in line for more minutes after starting versus Lazio.
  • Raoul Bellanova and Odilon Kossounou are reported to be available for Slavia after rejoining full training, while Sead Kolasinac targets a post-break return and Mitchel Bakker remains out until around January.
