Atalanta star Ademola Lookman suffers knee injury, ruled out against Barcelona

Ahead of a crucial Champions League clash with Barcelona, Atalanta has suffered a significant setback.

Details: According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Atalanta's star forward Ademola Lookman sustained a knee injury during training.

The exact recovery timeline for the Nigerian forward has not yet been disclosed, but it is confirmed that he will miss the match against Barcelona and Atalanta's upcoming Serie A fixtures under Gian Piero Gasperini.

This season, Lookman has been a key player for Atalanta, contributing 14 goals and 7 assists in 27 appearances across all competitions.

Atalanta currently sits seventh in the Champions League standings after seven rounds. A loss to Barcelona would see them drop out of the top eight and enter the preliminary playoff round.

Reminder: Earlier this month, Lookman launched his own account on the social media platform TikTok.
