AC Milan winger Samuel Chukwueze is expected to spend at least two months on the sidelines after sustaining a left hip injury. The Nigeria international is reportedly not expected to return before the end of the year.
The 27 year old picked up the problem during preparations for Milan’s Europa League trip to Bournemouth on Thursday, a game Milan lost 3-0. Milan confirmed that he has consulted a specialist and started a course of injections. Fans following Nigerian players in Italy can read Bet9ja promotion code first look.
He will be reassessed in 10 to 15 days, according to Corriere della Sera via MilanNews. The injury rules him out of the Milan derby against Inter on October 31, and a longer layoff is possible if the injections do not work.
There is better news on Gonçalo Ramos, who missed the Bournemouth game with a calf problem. A scan came back clear and he returned to full training, so he is set to lead Milan’s attack at Udinese on Sunday.
Milan already have Matteo Gabbia and Alexis Saelemaekers out for the long term, and Chukwueze’s absence adds to the problem on the flanks, according to Italian reports. Readers new to betting can see what a Bet9ja promotion code means for new users.
Milan are reportedly considering recalling full back Zachary Athekame from his loan at Lyon in January. They have already contacted Lyon about ending the loan early, but the French club, coached by Paulo Fonseca, must agree.
Chukwueze has been a regular this season since returning from his loan at Fulham, with two assists in eight appearances across all competitions.
A two month layoff is a big blow for a winger who had made an encouraging start under Rúben Amorim. Milan’s depth on the right is thin, and the January window may force a response.
The injury also raises questions about his availability for the Super Eagles’ next international window.
