Ademola Lookman resumes training with Atalanta after a meeting with coach Ivan Juric.
Ademola Lookman has returned to full training with Atalanta after a meeting with head coach Ivan Juric. The Nigerian forward had been sidelined since August, following his push to join Inter Milan. However, after a chat with Juric and a discussion with his teammates, Lookman seems ready to put the past behind him and focus on helping Atalanta this season.
Lookman rejoined the Atalanta squad on Thursday, September 18, after the team’s 4-0 loss to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League opener on Wednesday night. During the meeting with Juric, Lookman reportedly explained that he had a tough summer but is now ready and motivated to contribute to the team’s success.
The 27-year-old winger has yet to make his first competitive appearance for Atalanta this season. However, his reintegration into the team means he could be in contention for the upcoming Serie A match against Torino. Atalanta’s attack has lacked bite this season, and Lookman’s return could provide the spark the team needs.
Atalanta’s coach, Ivan Juric, seems to have played a key role in resolving the issue with Lookman. After their meeting, Lookman addressed the squad, expressing his renewed commitment to the team. This development comes as a welcome relief for Atalanta fans, who will be eager to see their No. 11 back on the pitch.
Lookman’s return couldn’t have come at a better time for Atalanta. The team has struggled with only one league win so far, and his pace, creativity, and ability to change games in an instant will be crucial in their upcoming matches.
As Atalanta prepares to face Torino, the team will be hoping that Lookman’s return sparks fresh momentum. If he hits the ground running, this chapter of tension could be quickly forgotten, and Lookman can focus on making a meaningful impact for Atalanta.
