After grabbing four goals in the’Champions League debut on the field of PSG, Atalanta needs to get back on its feet immediately. La Dea is expected from’treacherous trip to the field of Turin. Coach Juric is ready for anything to see his team return to victory immediately.

Need to field the best lineup, so Lookman as well. The big news from Atalanta for the confrontation with Toro is the sure presence of the Nigerian. After spending two months on the sidelines and playing his last game with Dea last May 25 (against Parma), the Nigerian is ready to take the field.

“He talked to me, to the staff, to his teammates. He explained himself and they welcomed him well. He is available, of course he is not at his best because he has been training alone for a long time. But in these days since he has returned to the group he has done well. Titular or not I have to think about it, he is a bit in oxygen debt, let”s see if it will be better to deploy him right away or in a game in progress”, the words of Juric himself.

Not yet forgiven by most Atalanta fans for his behavior during the summer market window, Lookman hopes to put the difficult moment behind him by returning to make a difference on the field. Atalanta needs Lookman and, at the same time, Lookman needs Atalanta.
