Soccer: Atalanta Lose De Ketelaere for Three Weeks

Bergamo: Atalanta will be without Charles De Ketelaere for three weeks as the 24-year-old Belgium striker has picked up a thigh strain, the Bergamo club said Thursday.

According to Ansa News Agency, the injury comes at a crucial time as Atalanta are currently third in Serie A on 58 points. They are seven points behind second-placed Napoli and 10 points behind leaders Inter.

Atalanta holds a narrow margin in the standings with just one point above fourth-placed Bologna and two points clear of fifth-placed Juventus. With seven games remaining in the Serie A season, the absence of De Ketelaere could impact the club’s performance as they aim to secure a top position.

The club’s management and fans will be closely monitoring the team’s performance in the upcoming matches, hoping to maintain or improve their standing despite the setback. The return of De Ketelaere will be eagerly anticipated as Atalanta looks to finish the season strongly.
