Ademola Lookman, Atalanta’s star winger, is facing a fitness test ahead of Monday’s crucial Serie A match against AS Roma at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo.
Lookman missed Friday’s training session due to an inflamed Achilles tendon, casting doubt on his availability for the game. Atalanta’s coach, Gian Piero Gasperini, will assess Lookman’s condition over the weekend to determine whether he can participate in the match.
The Nigerian international has been in outstanding form this season, scoring 19 goals and providing seven assists across all competitions. His absence would be a significant blow to Atalanta’s chances against Roma, who are currently fifth in the standings. Atalanta sits third, five points ahead of Roma, making this match crucial for both teams.
Lookman has been a key player for Atalanta, starting each of their last 10 Serie A matches and scoring four goals in that span. His speed and skill have been instrumental in Atalanta’s attacking setup.
If Lookman is unable to play, Atalanta will likely struggle to create scoring opportunities against a resilient Roma side.The match between Atalanta and Roma is scheduled for Monday, May 12, 2025, at 19:45 WAT at the Gewiss Stadium. Atalanta will be hoping that Lookman’s injury is minor and that he can return to lead their charge against Roma. A win would be vital for Atalanta’s push for a top-table finish in Serie A.
