Juric declares the episode closed to refocus Atalanta’s faltering league campaign.
Overview
- Ivan Juric said the dispute with Ademola Lookman is settled, confirming the forward trained with the squad and is reintegrated.
- The clash occurred during Atalanta’s Champions League win at Marseille, where Juric was seen grabbing Lookman’s arm and shouting after substituting him.
- Football Italia reported that Lookman unfollowed Atalanta on Instagram and removed club-related posts, a move he also made during a summer transfer dispute.
- Juric conceded Atalanta are eight points off fourth after five straight Serie A draws and a 1-0 loss at Udinese, calling the team behind schedule.
- Ahead of Sunday’s meeting with Sassuolo, Juric flagged long-term recoveries including Gianluca Scamacca and highlighted threats such as Domenico Berardi and Josh Doig.
