It turns out and happens curious the injuries of the Colombian players at a moment in which although the intensity is experienced week after week, the World Cup will not be a problem for the national team after the hard elimination. Several teams have been suffering from problems with their squad options due to injuries that have put them at risk of playing in Qatar. But the coffee representatives have also suffered despite not going to the orbital meeting.
For Néstor Lorenzo, injuries that will be resolved after 2022 can be a big problem, so the Argentine will not be able to count on them in the non-FIFA-endorsed friendly against Paraguay on November 19. Luis Díaz, Luis Sinisterra and now Luis Muriel have been affected by a series of blows that take them out of the rest of the year and will be outlined to return in 2023.
La Gazzetta dello Sport maintained that Luis Fernando Muriel set off the alarm with a partial injury to the proximal insertion of the right adductor common tendon. For now, there is no clear date for his return, but what is confirmed is that he will not return until after the break for the 2022 Qatar World Cup. Without a doubt, bad news for Atalanta and for Gian Piero Gasperini who missed the Colombian to face Napoli.
This will be a vital match for Atalanta as they face the leader with the aim of taking away their undefeated record and pressing at the top of the table. Gian Piero Gasperini at a press conference highlighted the importance of Luis Fernando Muriel in the squad and regretted not being able to have him available at this time. During the conference, Gasperini did not hesitate to refer to the Atlanticense who was in a sweet stretch of the season contributing with goals and assists.
Gian Piero Gasperini initially commented, “for Muriel it is more a tendon problem than a muscle problem, it will be difficult for us to have it before the break”. Luis Muriel felt a puncture in a training session on Wednesday, November 2, the discomfort ended up being serious to the point of cutting off the rest of the year. The strategist lamented the loss of the Colombian, “it’s a shame because Muriel had found a good state, the truth is that I’m sorry. He will be back after the break”.
