AFCON 2027Q: Chelle provides injury update on Lookman
Super Eagles head coach Éric Chelle provided an injury update on winger Ademola Lookman following his early exit during Nigeria’s 3-1 victory over Tanzania on Friday.
Lookman limped off the field in the first half and was substituted by Moses Simon of Paris FC. Before his departure, Lookman contributed significantly to the team’s performance, assisting Alhassan Yusuf’s opening goal.
In a post-match interview, Chelle revealed that Lookman had sustained a knee injury while attempting to score. “Ademola has a little problem. He took a knock on his knee when he tried to score a goal with his left foot,” Chelle said.
The injury raises concerns about Lookman’s availability for Nigeria’s upcoming Matchday Four clash against Tanzania on Tuesday. The national team is closely monitoring his condition as the fixture approaches.
