AC Milan winger, Samuel Chukwueze is set to spend about a month on the sidelines due to a hamstring injury.
Cyber Reporters reports that the Nigerian suffered the injury during Milan’s 1-1 draw against Roma last weekend and was forced to limp off the field.
The injury occurred in the first half of the match, with Chukwueze falling to the ground clutching his hamstring after an attempt on goal.
Despite showing flashes of creativity in his 62 minutes on the pitch, Chukwueze’s night ended in frustration as he limped off the field.
Reports say an MRI scan has revealed a lesion of the left femoral biceps, and Chukwueze will be re-examined in ten days.
He is expected to miss the entire month of January, including key matches against Juventus, Cagliari, and Como.
The injury is a setback for Chukwueze’s career in Milan, where he has struggled to make an impact this season.
In 21 appearances across all competitions, he has managed just three goals and one assist, largely as a substitute.
The injury may also put an end to links between Chukwueze and Arsenal, who had reportedly identified him as a potential replacement for the injured Bukayo Saka.
The Gunners are in search of a makeshift right winger, but Chukwueze’s injury may rule him out of contention.
