Atalanta head coach Ivan Jurić has indicated that Ademola Lookman is in line to make his first start of the season when the team hosts Club Brugge in a UEFA Champions League match‑day two encounter at the Gewiss Stadium on Tuesday. Lookman, who recently rejoined the Atalanta squad after a summer push to leave the club, has made only one appearance this season and was an unused substitute in Atalanta’s 1‑1 draw with Juventus last weekend.
Jurić said he is considering starting Lookman against Club Brugge, emphasizing the importance of reintegrating the Nigerian international into the team’s rotation. “Ademola has been training with us for a while, and I’m starting to think about it,” the coach explained at a press conference. He also mentioned the need to bring another key player, Ederson, back into the rotation.
The upcoming match offers Atalanta a chance to secure their first UEFA Champions League win of the season. With Lookman potentially making his first start, the team could benefit from fresh energy and talent. As the season progresses, Atalanta’s ability to utilise its squad depth effectively will be crucial to achieving its objectives.
The clash between Atalanta and Club Brugge is scheduled for Tuesday at the Gewiss Stadium, with both sides eager to make a statement in the competition. The encounter promises excitement, as Atalanta looks to capitalize on its home advantage while Club Brugge aims to cause an upset. The result will have significant implications for the teams’ standings in the tournament.
