Atalanta Coach Ivan Juric Excludes Ademola Lookman from Champions League Opener Against PSG

Paris, France – September 17, 2025

Atalanta head coach Ivan Juric has confirmed that Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman will not be part of the squad for the UEFA Champions League group stage opener against Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday.
Lookman, who was absent from the team’s training session on Tuesday, 16 September, is one of five players not involved in preparations ahead of the clash. This marks the fourth consecutive match in which Lookman has been excluded from Juric’s plans, following his unsuccessful attempt to leave the club during the summer transfer window.
The forward’s absence raises questions over his future at Atalanta, with the team now set to face the reigning Champions League holders without one of its attacking options. Further updates on Lookman’s situation and potential involvement in upcoming fixtures are expected as the season progresses.
