The start of the season for Colombians at Atalanta de Bergamo is not going through its best moment. One is the case of Luis Fernando Muriel who, until now without offers, the club has already valued him at 15 million to hear offers for him. He has gone from changing his status from non-transferable to transferable. The second, Duván Zapata who was diminished in long stretches of the last tournament due to injuries and will now be examined by the medical staff when he arrives again in Italy.
Atalanta wants to rule out the risk of losing the Cali striker again at the start of a season in which they know they have to go out and correct the shortcomings of last Serie A, where they failed to qualify for European competitions. One of the reasons was also the loss of goalscoring quota without Duván Zapata who was not in 18 games of the 38 of the rented Italian.
According to information from La Gazzetta dello Sport, once the preseason begins at the Bergamo club, before facing Valencia, Newcastle and other European clubs, the medical staff will study Duván Zapata so that he does not suffer a complex injury again in the start of the upcoming season.
The plan of the medical body is to do an MRI to detect if there are still sequelae of the rupture of the left adductor that he suffered and from which he has not yet been able to recover in optimal conditions. In addition to the breakup, he also suffered from problems with his thigh. However, he was never able to recover in the local tournament.
Waiting to see what happens with the future of Luis Fernando Muriel at Atalanta, Duván Zapata is also expected to look the same as past seasons in Bergamo and that with his regularity, and his goals, he will once again take his club to European competitions .
