Samuel Chukwueze hip injury at AC Milan

Overview

AC Milan attacker Samuel Chukwueze sustained a hip injury following a match against Atalanta. Initial assessments at Milanello suggested the injury could lead to a prolonged absence, creating tactical challenges for manager Ruben Amorim due to a lack of natural alternatives on the right flank.

Subsequent reports indicate the 27-year-old Nigerian international is expected to be sidelined for at least two months. Chukwueze has begun injection treatments and will undergo a reassessment in 10 to 15 days, though he is unlikely to return to action before the end of the year. His absence will rule him out of key fixtures, including the derby against Inter Milan on October 31.

To mitigate squad depth issues, the club is reportedly considering recalling Zachary Athekame from his loan at Lyon. This comes as the team manages other long-term absences, including Matteo Gabbia and Alexis Saelemaekers.
