AC Milan's Nigerian Winger Samuel Chukwueze to Miss Supercoppa Italiana Due to Injury
Samuel Chukwueze, AC Milan's Nigerian winger, is set to miss the upcoming Supercoppa Italiana after sustaining a muscle injury during the match against AS Roma, sidelining him for approximately one month.
In the 62nd minute of AC Milan's recent 1-1 draw with AS Roma, winger Samuel Chukwueze suffered a muscle injury following a sudden shot attempt. Clutching the back of his leg, Chukwueze was forced to leave the pitch after receiving medical attention. This setback is particularly disheartening as he had only recently returned from a previous injury. The initial assessment suggests that Chukwueze will be out of action for at least a month, causing him to miss the crucial Supercoppa Italiana semi-final against Juventus in Saudi Arabia. His absence adds to AC Milan's growing injury list, which includes key players such as Rafael Leão, Christian Pulisic, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Yunus Musah, and Noah Okafor, all of whom are doubtful for the upcoming Supercoppa clash.
