AC Milan received unfortunate news today when Samuel Chukwueze returned to Milanello prematurely from international duty due to a muscle issue. The club confirmed his return in their official training update, revealing that the Nigerian winger sustained a left hamstring injury while on international duty, forcing him to miss his country’s upcoming match against Mozambique.
According to MilanNews, Chukwueze is expected to be sidelined for approximately a month, with his return likely to be after the November international break.
Consequently, he is almost certain to be absent for several crucial matches, including Juventus at home, PSG away in the Champions League, Napoli away, Udinese at home, PSG in the Champions League again, and Lecce away.
This setback is a significant setback for Milan’s manager, Pioli, who was undoubtedly hoping to have the former Villarreal player at his disposal during a demanding part of the fixture list, especially considering the high-caliber opponents and the frequency of two games per week.
