The Nerazzurri midfielder was injured against Parma last weekend, but coudl return in a fortnight...

Jaime Valdes - Atalanta-Genoa - Serie A (Grazia Neri)
Atalanta fans can breathe a sigh of relief with Diego De Ascentis being cleared of any major damage to his right leg.

Instead, the 33-year-old sustained a thigh strain, which will see him miss for a fortnight.

De Ascentis came off in the 36th minute, during the Nerazzurri's clash with Parma.

The team went on to win the match 3-1, and will take on Livorno on Wednesday night, when the Serie A plays a midweek fixture.

De Ascentis only managed to play two games before being struck down, after he was tempted out of retirement by current coach Antonio Conte.
