Ademola Lookman will return to action for Atalanta before the end of the month.
The Nigeria international returned to training this week after recovering from a knee injury.
The winger sustained the injury on the eve of La Dea’s UEFA Champions League clash with Barcelona last month.
Lookman has missed Gian Piero Gasperini’s side last three games.
The 27-year-old won’t be part of Atalanta’s squad for the Champions League playoffs tie against Club Brugge.
Club Brugge will host the first leg at the Jan Breydelstadion on Wednesday, January 12.
The reverse fixture will hold at the Gewiss Stadium a week later.
The 27-year-old has scored 14 goals and provided seven assists in 27 games across all competitions for Atalanta this season.
