Atletico: Lookman, Sorloth recover for possible Saturday return
Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone provided injury updates on Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman and Alex Sorloth ahead of Wednesday's LaLiga clash with Elche. Lookman sustained an adductor injury during the Copa del Rey final defeat against Real Sociedad on Saturday, being replaced in the 63rd minute. 'We will see how Alex Sorloth and Lookman recover from this minor injury they have had,' Simeone said Tuesday. 'Hopefully, they will be fully recovered by Saturday, which is possible, according to the doctors.' The Nigerian forward's potential availability is crucial for Atletico as they aim to maintain momentum in LaLiga following their cup final disappointment. The team faces Elche on Wednesday with hopes both players could return by Saturday for their next match.
