Ademola Lookman: Atalanta star ruled out of Barcelona game due to injury

Lookman was superb for Atalanta last season, and he has continued with those impressive performances this season.

The Super Eagles star has been important for La Dea, registering 14 goals and seven assists in 27 appearances across all competitions this season.

Amid his impressive performances, he has been linked with a transfer to other top clubs in Europe like Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool. Still, nothing serious has emerged from those speculations.

Meanwhile, Atalanta’s next game is a UEFA Champions League game against Barcelona at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys on Wednesday.

It is a must-win game for La Dea if they want to maintain their place in the automatic qualification spots. And Lookman would have been one of the major protagonists for Atalanta.

Unfortunately, in a new development, per Fabrizio Romano, Lookman has sustained a knee injury and will be unavailable for the Barcelona game. He is also expected to be out for a significant time due to the injury.
