AC Milan winger Samuel Chukwueze is set for a spell on the sidelines after suffering a hamstring injury during the 1-1 draw against Roma.
The Nigerian pulled up in the first half following an attempt on goal, immediately signaling for a substitution. Tammy Abraham replaced him on the pitch.
MRI Confirms Injury Severity
An MRI scan has confirmed a lesion in Chukwueze’s left femoral biceps, as reported by MilanNews.
The injury rules him out of action for at least a month, with a re-examination scheduled in ten days.
This diagnosis means Chukwueze will miss a packed January schedule for Milan, including the Supercoppa Italiana semi-final against Juventus, a potential Supercoppa final if Milan qualify, league matches against Cagliari at home, Como away, Juventus away, Girona at home, Parma at home, and Dinamo Zagreb away.
Targeting Derby Return
The injury is a significant blow to Milan’s plans as they aim to maintain momentum in domestic and European competitions.
The club is hopeful that Chukwueze can make his return for the highly anticipated derby against Inter Milan on February 2.
In his absence, Stefano Pioli will need to rely on squad depth to cover the right flank, with key games demanding top performances.
