THE reigning African Player of the Year, Ademola Lookman is expected back in action for his Serie A club, Atalanta a day before the month of February runs out.
It will be recalled that Italy’s finest sustained a knee injury a day before Atalanta’s UEFA Champions League clash with Barcelona some weeks ago.
All factors being equal, the forward should be available for Atalanta’s Serie A clash with Empoli on 23 February 2025.
Lookman has been sorely missed in his club’s last three games across all competitions, and this is expected having scored 14 goals and provided seven assists in 27 games for Atalanta this season.
Sadly, he won’t be available for both legs of Atalanta’s Champions League play-off matches with Club Brugge.
Club Brugge will host the first leg on Wednesday, 12 February whilst the reverse fixture will hold at the Gewiss Stadium one week after.
