Lookman Cleared for Arsenal Clash

Ademola Lookman has been confirmed fit for Atletico Madrid's Champions League semifinal first leg against Arsenal on April 29. The winger recovered from an adductor issue and is available for selection. As one of Atletico's most dangerous attacking players, his availability represents a significant boost for Diego Simeone's squad.

Latest Injury Assessment

While recent headlines from April 28-29 indicated some uncertainty with reports of Lookman facing a late fitness test, the official injury status from the source material confirms his fitness. He has been listed as fit and available, with the adductor problem resolved.

Atletico Madrid's Squad Health

Lookman's return to fitness contrasts with other Atletico absences. The club will be without Pablo Barrios (thigh injury), Nicolás González (thigh issue), and José María Giménez (muscular issue). However, defender Dávid Hancko has also returned from an ankle issue, providing some relief alongside Lookman's availability.
