Ademola Lookman is set to return to action as Atalanta face AS Roma at the iconic Stadio Olimpico in what promises to be a thrilling Serie A encounter.

The Nigerian international, who has been in sensational form this season, will aim to reach a personal milestone by scoring his 10th goal of the campaign.

Lookman, 27, has already found the back of the net nine times across all competitions, proving to be a crucial attacking force for La Dea.

His impressive performances have made him one of Atalanta’s standout players this season.

The winger was rested during the team’s emphatic 6-1 victory over Swiss side Young Boys in their last European outing, giving him fresh legs for today’s clash.

Head coach Gian Piero Gasperini is expected to name Lookman in the starting lineup against AS Roma, a side known for their tactical discipline under manager José Mourinho.

Lookman’s pace, creativity, and goal-scoring ability could be key in breaking down Roma’s defense.

Atalanta head into this fixture in scintillating form, boasting an unbeaten streak of 12 matches in all competitions.

This consistency has propelled them to second place in the Serie A standings, with 28 points from 13 games.

Gasperini’s team has combined solid defensive displays with clinical attacking performances, making them serious contenders in the league this season.

Their opponents, AS Roma, present a formidable challenge, especially on home turf.

Roma, led by Mourinho, are renowned for their defensive organization and ability to thrive in high-pressure matches.

Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca has spoken on the controversial offside goal in Manchester City’s recent derby win over Manchester United and shared how Manchester United had actually benefited from a similar decision in the past.

He recalled that three years ago, Manchester United won a derby game against Manchester City with a goal that was allowed to stand despite an offside decision.

“Three years ago, we lost the Derby at Old Trafford with a goal that had to be disallowed. No one apologised. We are still waiting for the apology, Sometimes it happens for you, sometimes against you. It’s football.”

The comments came after Manchester City’s 1–0 win over Manchester United, in which Erling Haaland’s goal was initially ruled offside before VAR overturned the decision. The refereeing body later acknowledged that the decision was incorrect.
