Bella-Kotchap has been diagnosed with a left biceps femoris lesion, Verona relayed.
ANALYSIS
Bella-Kotchap will have to skip two or three fixtures after getting hurt against Napoli. Tobias Slotsager (thigh) is out as well, so Verona are down to three center-backs, Victor Nelsson, Andrias Edmundsson and Nicolas Valentini, plus Martin Frese and Daniel Oyegoke, who can adapt to the role.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set for Germany switch
DSouthampton
OUT
August 14, 2024
Bella-Kotchap is expected to sign with Hoffenheim, according to Sky Sports.
ANALYSIS
Bella-Kotchap was not expected to have a large role at Southampton, so the move to the Bundesliga makes sense for him. He should be able to see consistent minutes in Germany's top-tier league, and at 22 years of age, he should have enough potential to believe he can continue growing.
