Atalanta's Lookman Shines in Serie A Debut

Ademola Lookman is poised to make his first Serie A start of the 2025-26 season as Atalanta hosts Como at the New Balance Arena on Saturday evening. Kickoff is scheduled for 19.45 BST.

Atalanta enters this match fresh off a 2-1 comeback victory over Club Brugge in the Champions League earlier this week. Lookman, who made his first start of the campaign in that European clash, has been given the nod again by Atalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperini.

Joining Lookman in the starting lineup are midweek goalscorers Mario Pasalic and Lszar Samardzic, as well as goalkeeper Ederson, who also featured in the win over Club Brugge.

Como, meanwhile, has turned to summer signing Martin Baturina and Nico Paz to lead the attack, with Anastasios Douvikas as the central striker. Maxi Perrone and Lucas Da Cunha will anchor the midfield for the visitors.

This Serie A matchup promises to be an intriguing one, with Atalanta looking to build on their recent European success and Lookman aiming to make his mark in his first domestic start of the campaign.
