Atlético Madrid lost to Real Sociedad on penalties in the Copa del Rey final, and they have now been dealt another major blow.
Details: According to Marca, two Atlético forwards have picked up injuries. The players in question are Sørloth and Lookman, both of whom are expected to miss the next two weeks. The main objective of the medical staff is to have both players back in time for the match against Arsenal.
However, Lookman’s injury is currently considered the more serious one, and the timeframe for his return is tight. There is more optimism surrounding Sørloth’s recovery.
We recently reported that Super Eagles striker Ademola Lookman wrote his name into the record books by becoming only the second Nigerian player to score in a Copa del Rey final.
Reminder: The situation around Chelsea is escalating rapidly, and the club could decide to change head coach and make a move for Atlético’s manager.
