Atalanta are hopeful that Ademola Lookman will be fit for their crucial Champions League play-off second leg against Club Brugge.

The Nigerian winger has been sidelined for six games with a knee injury but recently returned to full training with his teammates. Softfootball reports that he is expected to be available for the match on Tuesday.

Lookman completed Sunday’s session and is scheduled to train again on Monday, signaling a strong recovery from his setback.

His potential return is a major boost for Gian Piero Gasperini’s side, who need to overturn a 2-1 first-leg deficit to secure their place in the Round of 16 of the competition.

The 27-year-old has been instrumental this season, recording 14 goals and seven assists in 24 appearances across all competitions.

His creativity and goal-scoring ability will be vital for Atalanta as they look to bridge the gap and advance to the next stage of Europe’s elite club tournament.
