Atalanta worried about Lookman's fitness before Barcelona match

Posted : 28 January 2025

Atalanta’s preparations for their vital UEFA Champions League showdown against Barcelona have been shaken by an injury to Nigerian striker Ademola Lookman, who is now a doubt for the match due to a knee issue.


Reports from Tutto Atalanta state that Lookman sustained the injury during a training session on Tuesday, and the club will closely monitor his condition in the coming hours. With the match against Barcelona on the horizon, his availability remains uncertain.


Lookman’s potential absence would be a significant setback for Atalanta, forcing manager Gian Piero Gasperini to possibly reconsider his attacking lineup for the crucial encounter. His absence could disrupt the club’s offensive strategies, which have relied heavily on his form.


The 27-year-old forward has been in excellent form for Atalanta in the Champions League this season, contributing four goals and two assists in six appearances. His performance in the competition has made him a key figure for the club, and his absence could have serious implications on their aspirations.


Currently, Atalanta sits in 7th place in their Champions League group, just one point above Bayer Leverkusen, who are 8th. A win against Barcelona, who sit second in the group, would secure Atalanta’s spot in the round of 16, while a defeat could push them into the playoffs.


Atalanta’s Champions League ambitions heavily rely on securing a positive result against Barcelona, making Lookman’s injury a major concern. His contributions in the tournament have been invaluable, and his absence would be a huge blow to the team's chances.


As Atalanta prepares for their final training session in Barcelona before the match, they will anxiously await updates on Lookman’s fitness and whether the Nigerian striker can recover in time to help propel them toward the knockout stages.
