AFCON 2027Q: Chelle provides injury update on Lookman

Super Eagles head coach, Éric Chelle has provided an injury update on winger Ademola Lookman following his early withdrawal in Nigeria’s 3-1 victory over Tanzania on Friday, DAILY POST reports.

Lookman limped off the pitch in the first half of the encounter and was replaced by Paris FC winger, Moses Simon.

The Atlético Madrid forward made a notable contribution before his substitution, providing the assist for Alhassan Yusuf’s opener.

Speaking to the media after the match, Chelle disclosed that Lookman sustained a knock to his knee 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,” the Super Eagles boss said.

The injury has now cast doubt over Lookman’s availability for Nigeria’s Matchday Four encounter against Tanzania on Tuesday, with the national team monitoring his condition ahead of the fixture.
