Lookman, who suffered a knee injury during training last month, has been sidelined for La Dea’s last six matches across all competitions.
The Nigeria international participated in training with his teammates on Sunday and Monday.
Gasperini has confirmed that the winger will begin the game on the bench.
“Lookman and Kolasinac have recovered, they are called up,” Gasperini said at a pre-match press conference on Monday, as quoted by TMW.
“In principle, Kolasinac will start, and Lookman might come in during the second half.
“We will probably lose Hien. Today we did a final training session, and he felt some fatigue in his adductor. We will have more details tomorrow.
“The team played a bit halfway in the first leg, which caused us a few more problems. We need to play a better game; in the second half, we had chances to take the lead. Overall, we need to play a game that is two steps better.”
