According to reports from Gianluca Di Marzio, the 27-year-old is struggling with an inflamed achilles tendon, which forced him to miss training on Friday and also puts his availability for the Atalanta-Roma clash at the Gewiss Stadium in doubt.

Friday's update claims that the player will be evaluated again before the team travel to the stadium for the Roma clash on Monday night.
Lookman has lined up as a starter in each of Atalanta's last 10 matches in Serie A, providing four goals across that spell. He is currently on 19 goals and seven assists across all competitions this season, all told.
The last time that Atalanta went without the reigning African Player of the Year was for the 0-0 draw against Cagliari back in February. He had also missed the 5-0 win over Verona the week before and the 1-1 draw with Torino in the game before that.

Why Rabiot could return to Juventus, Inter or Roma, but not Milan
With Olympique Marseille officially announcing Adrien Rabiot is for sale, it's reported he was offered to Inter, Roma and even Juventus, but Milan have no room for the midfielder. The France international has a long history of drama in his career and this is just the latest, because he has been excluded from the Marseille squad by the club and coach Roberto De Zerbi. The decision was made following a locker room altercation with teammate Jonathan Rowe, who has also been put on the transfer market. Now a return to Serie A is entirely possible for Rabiot, who after all spent five years at Juventus until letting his contract run down in July 2024. Rabiot retains interest from Serie A sides VERONA, ITALY – FEBRUARY 17: Adrien Rabiot of Juventus looks on during the Serie A TIM match between Hellas Verona FC and Juventus – Serie A TIM at Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi on February 17, 2024 in Verona, Italy. (Photo by) Milan would've been the obvious choice for the presence of his old coach Max Allegri, but with Luka Modric, Ardon Jashari and Samuele Ricci all signed this summer, there simply isn't room in a team that is out of European football. FCInterNews suggest that Inter were offered the opportunity to sign the 30-year-old, and are giving it some thought, as their midfield is in flux. Roma are another alternative, although they seem to be trying to lower the average age of the squad.

It is worth noting that the reasons he left have been lifted, namely director of sport Cristiano Giuntoli, and his salary worth €7.5m per season. Damien Comolli is now in charge of the Bianconeri's transfer strategy, and the player's wages at Marseille are said to be worth €3.5m per season plus €2m in performance-related bonuses.

Despite Hakan Calhanoglu's failed transfer to Fenerbahce or Galatasaray, the Nerazzurri could sign another midfielder. Indeed, they've already acquired the services of Petar Sucic. However, Cristian Chivu wants to add more depth to his squad, with Inter set to compete for trophies on multiple fronts. Although Rabiot would offer experience and quality, the Serie A giants prefer someone more versatile.
