Atalanta diagnosis for Zappacosta injury scare

There is more bad news for Atalanta from the treatment room after it was confirmed Davide Zappacosta has been diagnosed with a soleus lesion.

The wing-back limped off during half-time in their 2-1 Serie A victory over Udinese at the weekend.

A statement confirmed that when training resumed today, Zappacosta underwent scans that showed a Grade I lesion to the soleus muscle in the left leg.

This is effectively a calf strain, and while the soleus is a delicate muscle when it comes to injuries, the Grade I status suggests he should be back in action after around three to four weeks.

Atalanta have won their last six Serie A matches in a row to take them into joint second place, one point off leaders Napoli.

When the break for international duty has finished, they will play Parma away, then Young Boys in the Champions League before back-to-back Serie A tests with Roma and Milan.

They will host Real Madrid in Bergamo on December 12.
