Ruled out for Como meeting Lookman hasn't been called up for Sunday's clash with Como because he's involved in some transfer market negotiations, Mediaset reported.

Impact Lookman didn't train with the rest of the group Saturday and will be spared to avoid an injury. He's being linked to Fenerbahce and Atletico Madrid with a couple of days to go in the January window. Giacomo Raspadori, Mario Pasalic and Kamaldeen Sulemana will pick up the slack.

Quiet in return to lineup Lookman had one shot on goal during Wednesday's 1-0 Champions League loss against Union SG.

Impact Lookman looked short of sharpness in his first start since returning from AFCON duty, offering only brief flashes of his usual vertical threat. It ended as a quiet reentry marked by rust rather than any real attacking push, and his broader form continues to disappoint with just three goals across 19 appearances in UCL and Serie A.

Dishes out assist versus Athletic Lookman (AFCON) assisted once to go with one key pass, one off-target shot and two crosses (one accurate) in 25 minutes in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to Athletic.

Impact Lookman saw limited action in his first game back from international duties but put his name in the stat sheet by feeding Nikola Krstovic in the box late in the game, notching his second helper of the season. He'll likely be back in the XI sooner rather than later, supplanting either Nicola Zalewski or Lorenzo Bernasconi. He has created at least one chance in seven straight appearances, accumulating 12, adding 20 shots (seven on target), eight crosses (three accurate) and six corners and scoring and assisting twice over that span.

Fit for bench Lookman (international duty) is on the bench for Wednesday's match against Athletic.

Impact Lookman is back with the team after his time at AFCON, away for the past month due to international duty. He will look to start in their coming matches after testing his legs Wednesday, starting in 14 of his past 15 appearances before leaving for AFCON.

Option for Athletic game Lookman (AFCON) "has returned a day in advance and will be available Wednesday," coach Raffaele Palladino announced.

Impact Lookman will likely come off the bench, as he'll have practice just a couple of times after international duties, but it shouldn't be long before he recaptures his big role at the expense of either Nicola Zalewki or Lorenzo Bernasconi, as the former could move to the wing-back position if the coach decided to be aggressive. Lookman has scored thrice and assisted once in 16 games this season.

Another chance goes begging for Victor Osimhen at AFCON: Will self-destructive Nigeria & Galatasaray striker ever achieve his full potential?

Selected by Nigeria Lookman has been named in Nigeria's AFCON 2025 squad.

Impact Lookman will be unavailable for at least the next three Serie A matches, then his return will hinge on how far Nigeria make it in the tournament. Daniel Maldini, Mario Pasalic and Lazar Samardzic will replace him in the trident until Kamaldeen Sulemana (thigh) returns from injury.

Picks up secondary assist versus Cagliari Lookman recorded one scoring chance, four shots (two on goal) and one corner in Saturday's 2-1 victory versus Cagliari.

Impact Lookman had a run-of-the-mill display, leading his team in attempts along wth Charles De Ketelaere, but he couldn't capitalize on a pair of juicy opportunities. He has notched multiple shots in his last eight displays, accumulating 24 (nine on target) and also logging 11 key passes and 11 crosses (two accurate), scoring twice and assisting once in that stretch.

Creative effort in loss Lookman generated two shots (zero on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and four corners in Saturday's 3-1 defeat versus Verona.

Impact Lookman was one of the few bright spots for Atalanta in a match where the team struggled against relegation contender Verona. His season has taken a step back compared to last year, with only two goals in 10 Serie A games after finishing with 15 goals in 30 matches last season. He has still created 16 chances and delivered six accurate crosses, but his efforts aren't translating into goals the way they did previously. Lookman will aim to improve in Atalanta's next league match, a mid-table clash against Cagliari, who have conceded 19 goals in 14 games.

DECEMBER 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in Fiorentina fixture Lookman scored one goal to go with three shots (one on target), one cross (one accurate) and three chances created in Sunday's 2-0 win against Fiorentina.

He has fired multiple shots in the last five contests, piling up 15 (six on target) and adding six key passes and seven crosses (one accurate) over that span.

Paltry versus Napoli Lookman registered two shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-1 loss versus Napoli.

Impact Lookman put up modest stats up front and struggled particularly in the first half, as his team was getting pushed around.

Takes three shots against Sasssuolo Lookman won one of one tackles and generated three shots (two on goal) and three crosses (zero accurate) in Sunday's 3-0 defeat to Sassuolo.

Impact Lookman got going in the second half, co-leading his team in attempts, but it was too little too late to stage a comeback. He has scored just once in the season and hasn't created a chance in the last three games. He has launched at least one cross in nine straight displays, totaling 23 (five accurate) and posting 21 shots (four on target) and 12 key passes over that span.

The goal was the forward's first of the season (all competitions) across seven appearances (six starts). Overall, Lookman has had difficulty finding the target in the early stages of the season. He has attempted 16 total shots (two on goal).

Active in draw vs. Cremonese Lookman generated four shots (zero on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and three chances created in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Cremonese.

Impact Lookman continues to look a step or two slower than last season, when he was one of the most dangerous strikers in Serie A. The Nigerian winger continues to make an impact due to his peripheral stats, but his scoring contributions have been minimal. Through four league outings, Lookman has yet to record a goal or an assist in league play in 2025/26.

OCTOBER 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Makes short cameo versus Torino Lookman (personal) had two touches in three minutes in Sunday's 3-0 win over Torino.

Impact Lookman played very little in his first seasonal appearance and will need some time to get up to speed from a physical standpoint after some tumultuous months. It could be a while before he's ready to start, so Kamaldeen Sulemana and Daniel Maldini are set to stay involved.

Fit for bench Lookman (not injury related) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Torino.

Impact Lookman is with the team Sunday but not in a starting role, instead working off the bench for his season debut. That said, he hopes to see some time and then work towards a starting role in future games, as the attacker is a difference maker when on the pitch.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Available against Torino Lookman "has talked with me, the staff, and the squad and explained his side of things. I think he was welcomed back well. He's not 100 percent since he trained on his own and the...

Impact Lookman will be available for the first time in the season following a transfer saga and should see some action right away, especially since Atalanta will likely be without two of their top attackers, Gianluca Scamacca (knee) and Charles De Ketelaere (thigh). He registered 20 goals, six assists, 111 shots (47 on target) and 75 key passes in 38 appearances last season.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Resumes training Lookman has reprised practicing regularly after speaking with the coach and his teammates, La Gazzetta dello Sport informed.

Impact Lookman has mended fences with the gaffer and the club after asking out early in the summer and spending the last couple of months either away from the team or training separately. He'll resume being part of the rotation and could be called up for as early as the Torino game if he's in good enough condition. He played almost full minutes with Nigeria during the recent international break.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Still unavailable Lookman "won't be called up for the Lecce game as he's not ready for tomorrow. It's an unpleasant and difficult situation. We feel like we need something different in terms of spir...

Impact Lookman ended up staying after asking out and played with Nigeria during the break, but the coach and the team apparently expect some sort of apology for his behavior during the summer before bringing him back. Daniel Maldini and Kamaldeen Sulemana will continue replacing him.
