According to The Sun, Ademola Lookman and Victor Osimhen, key players for the Super Eagles, are currently under medical observation in Italy following their participation in the recent African Cup of Nations tournament. Lookman, who impressed at the AFCON with three goals, is sidelined for Atalanta's Serie A match against Sassuolo due to an ankle injury sustained during the final against Cote d'Ivoire.
Despite Lookman's absence, Atalanta's medical team is working diligently to ensure his swift recovery for the upcoming fixture against AC Milan. Lookman's contribution to Atalanta this season, with seven goals and three assists prior to his injury, underscores his importance to the team's pursuit of European football.
Meanwhile, Napoli's coach, Walter Mazzarri, is uncertain about Victor Osimhen's availability for their Serie A clash against Genoa. Osimhen, who returned late from the AFCON, missed training due to travel delays and requires assessment by Napoli's medical staff. Mazzarri expressed concern about Osimhen's fitness after the grueling tournament, hinting that he might start from the bench. However, Osimhen is expected to be ready for Napoli's upcoming UEFA Champions League fixture.
