Super Eagles winger Samuel Chukwueze is back in action as he rejoins AC Milan training ahead of their upcoming match against Udinese this weekend. The 25-year-old recently recovered from a muscle injury he sustained during Nigeria’s 1-0 victory over Libya, where he made a notable impact by coming on as a substitute in the 62nd minute.
Despite feeling some discomfort towards the end of the game, Chukwueze helped secure the win before returning to his club for further assessment. Notably, he was absent from the squad that experienced travel difficulties in Libya.
AC Milan's coach, Paulo Fonseca, has faced challenges with player injuries this season, but optimism surrounds the potential return of key players like Chukwueze and Ruben Loftus-Cheek for the Udinese match.
According to Sky Sport Italia, Chukwueze’s injury is not serious. After undergoing checks, he was cleared to train with the rest of the Rossoneri squad yesterday. Fans can look forward to seeing him on the pitch at the San Siro on Saturday.
Although Chukwueze has yet to score or provide an assist this season, his return is eagerly anticipated as Milan aims to boost their performance.
