Lookman injured in Nigeria qualifier, casting doubt over Atlético spell
What happened
Ademola Lookman appears set for a spell on the sidelines after going off injured during Nigeria's 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Tanzania on Friday, according to Get Spanish Football News. The Atlético Madrid winger started the match and assisted his country's opening goal before going down off the ball later in the first half with what looked like a muscular problem.
Report details
Nigerian medical staff attended to Lookman, and it quickly became clear he could not continue, so he was substituted. The report says medical tests will be carried out over the coming days, but that all indications point to a period of treatment in Madrid. The source describes the development as a potential setback for Atlético on the personnel front; no diagnosis or recovery timeframe has been confirmed.
