Fiorentina will once again have to give up Arthur Atta for the match against Atalanta, as the former Udinese midfielder continues to suffer from functional overload of his abdominal muscles. The problem, which has already kept the player off the pitch for several weeks, is still in the recovery phase and it is not yet clear whether he will be ready for the next match on Monday 2 November against Sassuolo.
Atta, purchased from Fiorentina in the summer with the aim of strengthening the midfield, has had a start to the season characterized by ups and downs. Although his health is improving, Ranieri's team cannot yet predict his availability for Sunday's match against Atalanta. The coach indicated that the player is continuing his recovery process, but is not yet ready to return to the field.
The midfielder was involved in a functional overload of the abdominal muscles, an injury which required a prolonged period of rest. The team's physiotherapist confirmed that Atta is better, but his physical condition is not yet at the level required to compete in Serie A. Fiorentina will therefore have to find an alternative to cover the midfielder role in the next match.
Atta's future remains uncertain: whether he will be able to recover in time for Monday's match or whether he will only be able to return to the pitch in the next match before the break against Juventus. Ranieri's team will therefore have to evaluate the options available to maintain the solidity of the midfield in the player's absence. Fiorentina will continue to monitor Atta's situation and communicate any updates on his health.
