The Super Eagles forward, Ademola Lookman, made his anticipated return to the field for Atalanta on Sunday. He entered the Serie A match as a late substitute in their impressive 3-0 away win against Torino.
This was the Nigerian’s first appearance for Atalanta since a controversial summer in which he attempted to force a move to Inter Milan.
The winger had reportedly submitted a transfer request and was absent from the team during crucial preseason preparations, actions that drew sharp criticism from fans and pundits alike.
Lookman’s brief appearance in the 87th minute marked the end of a tense standoff between the player and the club.
While Atalanta appear ready to move on, not all supporters have forgiven the 27-year-old, with some branding him “ungrateful” for what they viewed as a betrayal of the club’s trust.
