AFCON 2027Q: Lookman to miss Tanzania rematch with knee injury

Lookman sustained an injury in Nigeria’s matchday three fixture against Miguel Gamondi’s men at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo, on Friday night.

The Atlético Madrid winger was replaced by Moses Simon late in the first half.

“Scan has revealed Ademola Lookman suffered a sprain in his knee ligament during yesterday’s match. This rules him out of Nigeria’s next afcon qualifier versus Tanzania in Zanzibar on Tuesday,” Super Eagles media officer Promise Efoghe said in a statement on Saturday.
