Ademola Lookman is due for a medical assessment after sustaining an injury during Copa del Rey Final action with Atlético Madrid against real sociedad, raising fresh concerns for the club at a critical stage of the season, Boldsports report.
The Nigerian forward was forced off in the second half after struggling with what has been identified as an adductor issue. The club has scheduled an MRI scan to determine the severity, with results expected to shape his availability in the coming weeks.
Lookman has been a key attacking figure this season. He has recorded seven goals and four assists in 18 appearances. He also scored in the final before leaving the pitch. His sharp movement and direct play caused constant problems for his marker during the first half. That impact underlines how much Atlético could miss him if the injury proves serious.
The winger showed signs of discomfort before he was substituted in the 62nd minute. Early checks suggest a strain in the adductor muscle, but the full diagnosis remains pending.
