Sulemanas pace, direct running and ability to operate from either flank make him an important attacking option for the Italian side.The 24-year-old Ghanaian will now await the results of the medical examinations before a decision is made on his treatment and recovery programme.The outcome of the tests will also determine whether Sulemana can return to full training soon or whether he will require a period on the sidelines to recover from the knee problem.Atalanta and the Ghanaian national team will be hoping the injury is not serious and that the forward can make a swift return to action.
