Simeone Optimistic Lookman Will Be Ready for Atletico and Super Eagles
Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone has given a positive injury update on Ademola Lookman ahead of Wednesday’s La Liga game against Elche. The forward suffered an adductor strain during Saturday’s Copa del Rey final loss to Real Sociedad. Simeone said medical staff are hopeful Lookman and Alex Sorloth will recover fully by Saturday. Lookman has already scored seven goals and provided five assists in 18 matches since joining from Atalanta. His standout moment this month came in the Champions League quarter-final, where he netted the winner against Barcelona. The Super Eagles coach will welcome this news as Nigeria prepares for friendlies with Portugal and Poland in June.
