Samuel Chukwueze has recovered quickly from his injury and is a strong candidate to be included in AC Milan’s gameday squad for their match against Udinese on Saturday night at Milan’s Stadio Giuseppe Meazza. Chukwueze will be ready for selection after resolving his injury issues, which caused him to withdraw from the Super Eagles team for the matchday four Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Libya, which was later canceled, according to Turin-based sports newspaper Tuttosport, via Milan News.
Just after the hour, Chukwueze came off the bench to replace Frank Onyeka, and he was one of the Super Eagles’ most impressive players. However, he was hurt in the last minutes of the game at Godswill Akpabio International Stadium precisely one week ago. There were concerns that a muscular issue that had plagued the former Villarreal sensation in recent years had returned.
When the winger arrived in Italy, AC Milan manager Paulo Fonseca was relieved when further testing definitively ruled out the chance of an injury. In the match against the White and Blacks, the Italian strategist must now choose whether to start Chukwueze or use him as a substitute. The Nigerian national team player has only made two starts out of a potential nine in all competitions this season, falling short of breaking into AC Milan’s starting lineup despite his strong preseason performances.
