Atalanta’s Nigerian forward, Ademola Lookman, remains uncertain for the upcoming clash against AC Milan after missing the recent encounter against Sassuolo due to an injury sustained during the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
Lookman, who faced a setback in the AFCON 2023 final against Ivory Coast on February 11, where Nigeria suffered a defeat, is yet to make a full recovery.
The 26-year-old striker suffered a sprain during the continental competition, leading to his absence in Atalanta’s recent triumph over Sassuolo with a 3-0 scoreline in Serie A’s 25th round.
As the Italian side prepares to face AC Milan on Sunday, February 25, concerns linger about Lookman’s availability for the crucial fixture.
Reports from the local Italian press indicate that the Nigerian forward underwent therapy and engaged in individual training sessions.
The club is closely monitoring Lookman’s progress, and his participation in the upcoming match is yet to be confirmed.
Ademola Lookman’s absence was noticeable during Atalanta’s recent victory, highlighting his significance to the team’s attacking prowess.
The Nerazzurri will assess Lookman’s fitness over the coming days, and decisions regarding his inclusion in the squad against AC Milan will depend on his recovery.
Atalanta supporters eagerly await updates on Lookman’s condition, hoping for a swift recovery that would allow the talented forward to contribute to the team’s efforts as they face AC Milan in what promises to be a challenging encounter.
