Atalanta's Odilon Kossounou out for 4-6 weeks with serious thigh injury
Summary

Atalanta will be without defender Odilon Kossounou for at least 4-6 weeks due to a serious lesion in his femoral bicep. The injury, which Kossounou sustained during training, led to his absence in a recent Serie A match against Juventus. Medical tests confirmed the extent of the injury, ruling him out of upcoming fixtures, which will be challenging for Atalanta as they are also missing other key players like Isak Hien and Kamaldeen Sulemana.
