Minor damage was added to the problem with the lack of playing time of the Ukrainian.

Central midfielder Viktor Kovalenko moved from Shakhtar to Atalanta last winter, but has not yet found happiness in his new club.

Since that moment, the Ukrainian spent only three minutes on the field for the Bergamasks in the March match of the Italian Serie A against Verona, replacing another Ukrainian - Ruslan Malinovsky.

Due to the lack of playing time, rumors naturally began to appear in the press that Viktor could change his club registration in the summer transfer window, however, according to TMW, the 25-year-old Ukrainian was injured and should return to Atalanta in August.

Nevertheless, according to the source, Kovalenko can still leave Atalanta this summer, despite the damage he received.. The departure of the Ukrainian may also be affected by the fact that in order to sign new foreign players, the Bergama club must first part with some of its legionnaires..

Earlier, there was information that Kovalenko could continue his career in Bologna or Milan, but Victor himself said that he would go to the pre-season training camp with Atalanta.
