Atalanta's De Roon Suffers Injury Blow

Vice-Captain Sidelined Ahead of Crucial Europa League Tie

De Roon Injures Himself in Juventus Clash

Atalanta have been dealt a significant blow ahead of their upcoming Europa League clash with Rennes, as vice-captain Marten de Roon has suffered an injury. The Dutch midfielder sustained the knock during Atalanta's 3-1 defeat to Juventus in Serie A on Sunday.

De Roon, who has been a key figure for Atalanta since rejoining the club in 2017, has been a consistent starter for Gian Piero Gasperini's side this season. His presence in the midfield has been crucial to Atalanta's success both domestically and in Europe.

The extent of De Roon's injury is currently unknown, but it is likely to keep him out of action for at least a few weeks. Atalanta will be hoping that he can recover in time for the second leg of their Europa League tie against Rennes, which is scheduled for March 19.
