Nigeria, Nov. 15 -- Ademola Lookman will miss Nigeria's 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Tanzania in Zanzibar on Tuesday. He sustained a knee ligament sprain, which also casts doubt on his availability for Atletico Madrid's upcoming fixtures.

A scan confirmed the injury on Saturday, following the Super Eagles' 3-1 victory over Tanzania at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo on Friday.

The team's media officer, Promise Efoghe, announced that the forward would be unavailable for the return fixture.

"Scan has revealed Ademola Lookman suffered a sprain in his knee ligament during yesterday's match. This rules him out of Nigeria's next AFCON qualifier versus Tanzania in Zanzibar on Tuesday," Mr Efoghe said.
