AFCON 2027Q: Chelle provides injury update on Lookman

Super Eagles head coach Éric Chelle has given an injury update on winger Ademola Lookman after his early exit from Nigeria's 3-1 win over Tanzania, according to the DAILY POST. Lookman left the field during the first half and was substituted by Paris FC winger Moses Simon. Prior to his removal, Lookman had played a significant role, setting up Alhassan Yusuf's opening goal.

Following the match, Chelle shared that Lookman suffered a knee injury while attempting to score with his left foot. "Ademola has a little problem. He took a knock on his knee when he tried to score a goal with his left foot," Chelle informed the media. This development raises concerns about Lookman's availability for Nigeria's next fixture against Tanzania on Matchday Four, as the national team is closely monitoring his condition.
