Gasperini: “I hope to see Muriel in good condition”

Luis Fernando Muriel remained on the substitute bench in Atalanta’s most recent win over Sampdoria. The technical director Gian Piero Gasperini preferred to introduce Roberto Piccoli. At a press conference, the coach assured that at the moment the Italian is much “more reactive” than the Colombian, who is not yet at 100% after injury.

“Piccoli came in on Sunday, nothing more. He had scored in Turin and also in Milan, where his goal would have been very important but then it was canceled. Luis Fernando Muriel is very important to us, but from one week to the next he can change something. He got off to a good start, then got injured. I hope to see it in good condition, let’s take the example of Ilicic, “he said.

Between training sessions and on the court, many things still change, you always have to get it right in these situations. Nothing happened to Muriel. Piccoli has another position. Has more reactivity than Muriel. I am lucky to see the players training, I try to see if one of them is in good condition or not “, complemented the coach prior to the game against Lazio.

During this season, Muriel has played seven games, five in Serie A and two in the Champions League for a total of 307 minutes. The attacker adds a goal and an assist in the Italian league, while in the international tournament he has not yet been able to score.
