Lookman’s goal was his last contribution to the team, before he left to participate with his country in the African Cup of Nations scheduled for Côte d’Ivoire starting January 13.
Gasperini touched on this issue, saying, “Unfortunately, Lookman is traveling, but we have the Colombian Luis Murial, Gianluca Scamacca, the Belgian Charles de Ketelaar, the Russian Alexei Miranchuk, and the Malian Bilal Toure. It will be an opportunity for them, in order to get more time on the field.” .
He added, “I do not want to say that I hope Nigeria does not achieve a good result, but of course I hope that Lookman’s absence will not be long, and more importantly than anything else, we hope that he will not be injured.”
