Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman is a major doubt for Atalanta’s crucial Serie A showdown with AS Roma, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The matchday 36 fixture is scheduled for Monday at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo.

Lookman reportedly missed training on Friday due to an inflamed Achilles tendon, raising concerns over his availability for the key encounter.

With two days left before kickoff, Atalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperini and his medical staff will assess the winger's condition to determine if he can feature.

The 27-year-old recently ended a six-game goal drought by netting in Atalanta’s 4-0 victory over Monza last Sunday.

He has been a key figure for the club this season, tallying 19 goals and seven assists across all competitions.

Atalanta currently sit third in the Serie A standings with 68 points, five clear of fifth-placed Roma, with just three matches remaining in the campaign.
