AC Milan face setback as Samuel Chukwueze sustains a hamstring injury during international duty with the Super Eagles of Nigeria.
The player is reportedly ruled out for the team’s upcoming matches against Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).
The nature of Chukwueze’s injury remains uncertain, but an official statement by AC Milan mentions a femoral bicep lesion, which normally takes several weeks of recovery, and in most cases up to a month, according to Football Italia.
This injury comes at a time when the player’s services are needed the most, given the series of challenging fixtures lined up for his team.
Milan is set to clash with Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain, and Napoli in both Serie A and the Champions League.
In addition to Chukwueze’s absence, Milan faces further challenges as key players Theo Hernandez and goalkeeper Mike Maignan are suspended for the match against Juventus.
Several other players, including Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Ismael Bennacer, Mattia Caldara, and Rade Krunic, are also in contention, following injury worries.
