Juric showered encomium on Lookman, and Ederson for their contribution to the team.
“They’re quality players. They’ve been training with us for a while, I think that today is a good opportunity for them to start playing in matches,” he told Sky Sport Italia.
“They’re two excellent athletes, we’ll see how they get on during the game.”
