Samuel Chukwueze Faces Weeks on Sidelines as AC Milan Assess Hip Injury

AC Milan winger Samuel Chukwueze is expected to miss several weeks of action after reportedly experiencing a hip problem, according to reports by DAILY POST.

The Nigeria international missed Wednesday morning’s training session ahead of AC Milan’s UEFA Europa League fixture against Premier League side Bournemouth, raising concerns about his availability for the encounter.

According to Italian sports outlet Sport Mediaset, Chukwueze is expected to undergo a specialist medical assessment to determine the severity of the injury and establish an appropriate recovery timeline.

The 27-year-old reportedly experienced discomfort in his left hip, with Milan concerned that the problem could keep him out for several weeks or potentially months, depending on the findings of the medical examination.

The injury comes as Chukwueze looks to build on his performances following his return to Milan from a loan spell at Fulham. He has reportedly made an encouraging start to the current campaign, registering two assists in eight appearances across all competitions for the Italian club.

His potential absence would be a concern for Milan as they prepare for their upcoming fixtures, although the full extent of the problem remains unclear pending further medical evaluation.

Chukwueze’s recovery timeline will depend on the outcome of the specialist assessment, with further clarity expected once the club establishes the severity of the hip problem.
