Atlético Madrid Confirms Lookman's Injury Not Serious

Atlético Madrid announced that Nigerian international Ademola Lookman's injury, sustained during the Copa del Rey final against Real Sociedad, is not serious but rather a case of muscle discomfort. The club emphasized the need for maximum caution to avoid the risk of a formal injury.

Lookman will follow an individual recovery plan and train separately from his teammates until his condition improves. There is no definitive timeline for his return to full training.

Lookman is expected to miss the next two matches but aims to be fit for the UEFA Champions League semifinal against Arsenal on April 29. The injury occurred when Lookman felt pain in his adductor, and both Atlético's medical staff and Nigeria's medical team will ensure he does not rush back to avoid a longer absence.

Lookman has been an important player for Nigeria, and his absence will be felt in upcoming international friendlies against Poland and Portugal.
