Atalanta’s Muriel to miss Brescia clash after swimming pool accident
Luis Muriel will miss Atalanta’s Serie A clash with Brescia after reportedly falling on the edge of a swimming pool.
The forward is said to have hit his head on the side of the pool at a gathering with team-mates, but reports said hospital tests for head trauma came back negative.
Atalanta confirmed Muriel will be unavailable for Tuesday’s game as a result of an accident, but the Colombia international did not suffer any serious injuries and is set to return to training on Wednesday.

“Tonight I will be at the stadium to cheer @atalantabc, and already tomorrow I will return to train with my team-mates. Thank you for the affection you have shown me in these hours.”
A brief Atalanta statement read: “Atalanta BC announces that, following a domestic accident, the player Luis Muriel will not be available for the Atalanta-Brescia match.
“The player will be available for the training session tomorrow, July 15th.”
Muriel has scored 17 goals in 29 Serie A appearances for Atalanta, who are fourth in the top flight, nine points behind leaders Juventus with six games to go.
