Not just the away match in Barcelona: Atalanta will also be without Ademola Lookman for other matches due to an injury that will keep him out for around three weeks.
After a series of medical tests and a specialist examination, it was confirmed that the Nigerian striker suffered a grade-1 tear to the distal insertion of the lateral collateral ligament in his right knee. This news represents a severe blow for Gian Piero Gasperini's team, who will have to adapt to his absence in the coming weeks.
The initial prognosis indicates a recovery of approximately three weeks, meaning Lookman will miss several crucial matches. Atalanta fans and management hope that the striker, one of the team's most in-form players, can return to the pitch as soon as possible to continue contributing to the team's success in Serie A and Europe.

It's a shame that Lookman got injured right now, when Atalanta needed him. Let's hope he recovers quickly and can return to play sooner than expected. The team needs him.
