Lookman set for Atalanta return in Champions League clash

Published on: 17 February 2025

Atalanta winger Ademola Lookman is poised to return from injury in time for Tuesday's UEFA Champions League playoff second leg against Club Brugge, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

Lookman has been sidelined since sustaining a knee injury in training last month, missing La Dea's last six games.

However, the 27-year-old Nigerian international completed part of Sunday's training session with the rest of the team, paving the way for his return.

According to Italian news outfit La Gazzetta, Lookman is likely to be included in Gian Piero Gasperini's squad for the decisive second leg at the Gewiss Stadium, as Atalanta seeks to overturn a 2-1 deficit from the first leg.

Lookman has been in impressive form this season, scoring 14 goals and providing seven assists in 24 outings across all competitions for Atalanta.
