Atalanta, Juric: No Lookman or Scamacca vs Lecce, wants city pride | OneFootball

On the eve of the league match against Lecce, Ivan Juric took stock of the situation at Atalanta. The Nerazzurri coach, speaking at a press conference, immediately clarified the condition of Ademola Lookman, who will not be available for the match against the Salentini.

Atalanta, Juric very tough: “I want a humble and united team, I don’t beg anyone to play”

“Every match is difficult,” said Juric, “and tomorrow I expect a tough encounter in every respect. Lookman will not be ready, it’s an unfortunate situation. But what matters now is not thinking about individuals, but rather the spirit with which we take the field. I want a humble team, capable of representing the city and the shirt. We need to work, be united, and take responsibility. Lookman is a top player, I have an excellent relationship with him, but Atalanta must also live by human values and a sense of belonging. I don’t beg anyone to play, I want players who give everything.”

The difficulties don’t end there, because Gianluca Scamacca will also be forced to stop. The striker will not take part in the match due to inflammation. “For Scamacca it’s a minor issue,” explained Juric, “but he won’t be there. He reacted well in recent days, but the stop came unexpectedly. He was downhearted, given the effort he had put in to return. At the moment there is no definite recovery time, but we hope it won’t be anything long-term.”
