Atletico Madrid Concerned Over Ademola Lookman’s 180 Minutes with Super Eagles

1 / 2

Atletico Madrid have reportedly expressed frustration with the Nigeria Football Federation’s decision to field Ademola Lookman for the full 180 minutes across two friendly matches. The winger, who joined Atletico from Atalanta in the winter window, played every minute in the 2-2 draw against Jordan and the 2-1 win over Iran. The Spanish club fears that heavy international minutes could lead to fatigue and raise the risk of injury during a crucial stage of the season. Since his move, Lookman has made a strong impact in Madrid, scoring five goals and providing four assists in 14 appearances. Atletico will now manage his workload carefully as he returns for this weekend’s league fixture.
