Atletico Madrid Confirms Injury Layoff for Nigeria’s Ademola Lookman

Atletico Madrid have announced that Ademola Lookman will be sidelined after sustaining an injury in their Copa del Rey final defeat to Real Sociedad on April 19. The 28-year-old had opened the scoring but was withdrawn shortly after the hour mark. The club revealed that both Lookman and teammate Alexander Sørloth finished the match with discomfort. Medical tests have led to a cautious approach, with both players set for individual training programs away from the main squad. Their comebacks will depend on how they respond in the coming days. The Nigeria international joined Atletico in January from Atalanta and has contributed seven goals and four assists in 18 appearances across all competitions.
