Lookman suffers adductor injury, sidelined after Copa del Rey final

Nigeria international Ademola Lookman will miss time after sustaining an adductor injury during Atlético Madrid's Copa del Rey final defeat to Real Sociedad in Sevilla on Saturday. Lookman scored Atletico's first goal in the 1-1 first half before being replaced by Nicolás González in the 62nd minute. The match ended 2-2 with Sociedad winning 4-3 on penalties. The 26-year-old will follow an individualized recovery plan and train separately from teammates to prevent aggravating the injury. His return to full training depends on how the discomfort progresses over coming days. This blow comes as Atlético missed a chance to secure silverware despite Lookman's contribution to the final.
