Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman has resumed light training at Atalanta after sustaining a knee injury last week, which ruled him out of the UEFA Champions League clash against Barcelona.

The 27-year-old, who has registered 14 goals and seven assists in 26 appearances this season, is expected to return to full action in two weeks—just in time for Atalanta’s crucial double-header against Club Brugge.

Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen will see out his one-year loan spell at Galatasaray, having rejected offers to leave during the January transfer window.

While the window has closed across most European leagues, Turkey remains an exception.

Osimhen joined Galatasaray on loan from Napoli last summer, with no option to buy, following a fallout with the Italian club’s management.

He had previously turned down moves to Chelsea and Saudi Arabia due to personal terms.

Despite speculation about an early exit, Galatasaray’s technical director, Okan Buruk, confirmed that while his loan deal included a January transfer clause, Osimhen chose to stay, prioritizing his commitment to the club.
