Raspadori doubtful for Milan as reported 20-day absence threatens five fixtures

Giacomo Raspadori is doubtful for Atalanta’s trip to AC Milan on Sunday, and a reported recovery estimate of around 20 days puts four more fixtures at risk. Atalanta have confirmed a low-grade strain in his right hamstring, but have not announced a return date or confirmed when he will be available again.

The forward was injured while taking a penalty against Pafos in Thursday’s Conference League match and had to leave the game. Scans later identified the strain, and the club said on Saturday that Raspadori had started rehabilitation.

Calciomercato, citing Gianluca Di Marzio, reports that Raspadori is expected to miss Milan, Ajax, Frosinone, Fiorentina and Parma. That is a projection rather than a club-confirmed absence list: Atalanta have described him as doubtful for Sunday and have not set a recovery timetable. The same report says he might return for the Kairat Almaty fixture, with Monza a more likely target.

The immediate decision is whether Raspadori can play at all at San Siro, where Atalanta are due to kick off at 18:00 CEST. Beyond Milan, the reported estimate would put his availability in question through a run of domestic and European fixtures. For a side sitting 10th with nine points from six games, the uncertainty stretches well beyond one selection call—but the club has not confirmed the length of the absence.

Atalanta’s medical update gives a diagnosis and confirms rehabilitation has begun; it does not name a return date. The 20-day estimate and the projected list of matches missed remain media reporting, not an official timetable.
