Probable first degree muscle injury for the Swedish defender who will undergo further tests
Atalanta will not have Isak Hien available when the championship resumes. The muscle problem that emerged last Thursday during the match between Sweden and Ukraine seems to be going in the direction of one first degree muscle injury to the left flexor. While awaiting further tests to which he will be subjected by the club’s medical staff upon his return to Italy, Hien will not be available on Monday 6th for the away match against Lecce. At the moment we cannot go further on the timing of the return. Hien came off the field after 37 minutes against Ukraine and the hope is that he stopped sufficiently in time. The Swedish defender was making his eleventh consecutive appearance between Atalanta and Sweden. Not all 90′, let’s be clear. Raffaele Palladino’s rotations had put him back in the starting lineup 6 times since last February 22nd against Napoli. But never more than 3 times in a row. In short, it was not an injury due to excessive use. At this point at Atalanta – who will return to training tomorrow afternoon awaiting the return of the national team – we begin to think about who will play in his place against Lecce.

For now everything leads to Berat Djimsiti. The central defender is busy with the Albanian national team in Valencia, Spain. He too will have an appointment tomorrow, but it will be a friendly test against Ukraine. In fact, Albania lost the semifinal of the playoff to go to the World Cup against Poland and will challenge Ukraine. Given that it is a friendly match, one could hypothesize that Djimsiti will catch his breath, perhaps in the logic of a rotation in the Albanian selection coached by Sylvinho. The central defender of the Goddess, however, is the captain of Albania, not a supporting element. Furthermore, by playing he would reach the finish line of his 70th appearance with Albania, joining Odise Roshi in 10th place ever. It will be a friendly test, but the pride of representing your country is a concept to keep in mind.
time and attendance

Furthermore, there is also the time factor which lifts Atalanta’s spirits. That is, the away match in Lecce is scheduled for Monday, i.e. six days after Albania’s match against Ukraine tomorrow. In short, there is time to play and recover energy in view of the resumption of the championship. Speaking of statistics: at his next appearance, Djimsiti will join Valter Bonacina in fourth place overall in the history of Atalanta with 327 appearances. In short, whichever way you look at it, Berat has several objectives to pursue. Individually and above all as a team. Aware, therefore, of having to preserve itself for everyone. First of all for himself.
