Ademola Lookman to miss Paris Saint-Germain clash as Atalanta tension persists

The reigning African footballer of the Year recently returned to first team training after being banned for his attempt to force a move to Inter Milan during the summer.

New Atalanta manager Ivan Juric has cast doubts over the future of the Nigerian star with the Serie A club ahead of the clash against PSG on Wednesday.

"Lookman in Paris? I think not, the situation is unpleasant and not beautiful," said the Croatian to DAZN ahead of his UEFA Champions League managerial debut.

"We need ready-made guys who want to give a lot to the shirt. It will be a great joy to face PSG, the strongest team in the world at the moment. We will have to be perfect, hoping that they will not be at their best.

"We are confident that we can do well. It will be nice for me, as it will be my first time in the Champions League," concluded the 50-year-old.

Lookman featured for Nigeria during the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda and South Africa but has yet to make an appearance for his Italian side since May.

Atalanta will take on Paris Saint Germain at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday.
