Lookman fit for Atalanta match against AC Milan

According to manager Gian Piero Gasperini, Ademola Lookman is fit for Atalanta’s Serie A match against AC Milan.

On Sunday, La Dea will play Stefano Pioli’s team at the Stadio Giuseppe Meaza in San Siro.

Lookman was out for last weekend’s 3-0 home victory against Sassuolo due to an injury he sustained while serving in the Africa Cup of Nations.

Nevertheless, Gasperini stated that the winger is once more eligible for selection having recovered from his injury.

 “Lookman? Even without him, it went very well and this gives us some guarantees but his return is a further reinforcement. He did his first training session with the group yesterday, the pain has reduced a lot, and he’s ready for tomorrow,” he stated.

However, according to the most recent sources, the 26-year-old won’t play right away. Charles De Ketelaere and Aleksey Miranchuk will be up front instead. In the meanwhile, following the defeat against Monza, Stefano Pioli will start Malick Thiaw from the first minute once more.
