After a hiatus of five months, Atalanta’s forward El Bilal Touré has made a triumphant return to the field, scoring twice against Real Calepina. His previous appearance was in a friendly match against Juventus in August.
Atalanta confirmed Touré’s comeback on their official Twitter account, welcoming him back with the post: “Look who’s on the field @El_bilal9 IS BACK #AtalantaRealCalepina #GoAtalantaGo.”
Atalanta’s number 10 did not waste any time making his mark. He netted twice within a short four-minute span in the second half (from the 63rd to the 67th minute), signaling an end to his challenging period away from the field.
There is palpable anticipation around Touré being ready to provide some much-needed impetus for Atalanta as they navigate the remainder of the season.
