Atalanta head coach Ivan Juric has claimed that Nigerian international Ademola Lookman was misled by people around him before making his return to the Serie A club, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Lookman rejoined the Atalanta squad on Sunday during their 3-0 victory over Torino, ending weeks of uncertainty about his future with the Bergamo outfit.

Speaking to Football Italia, Juric explained that the winger’s recent issues stemmed from poor guidance.

“He spoke to me and the team on Monday, he was surrounded by people who had given him some bad advice.

"He has a great winning mentality and now we need to get him back in shape physically,” continued Juric.

Lookman, who had been linked with a move away from the club during the summer transfer window, is now expected to focus on regaining full fitness as Atalanta continue their push in Serie A.
