Super Eagles and AC Milan winger Samuel Chukwueze endured a difficult evening at the San Siro on Sunday, leaving the pitch with a suspected hamstring injury during Milan’s 1-1 draw with AS Roma.

Chukwueze, who was on the field for 62 minutes, showed flashes of his creativity but was unable to find the back of the net.

Moments after forcing a save from Roma goalkeeper Mile Svilar with a curling left-footed effort, the winger pulled up clutching the back of his leg, signaling for immediate medical attention.

Visibly distraught, Chukwueze was carried off the field by the medical team. Early reports suggest a serious thigh strain that could sideline the Nigerian international for several weeks, potentially up to a month.

The timing of the injury is a significant blow for both Chukwueze and AC Milan. The 24-year-old has struggled to establish himself in Serie A, with just three goals and one assist in 21 appearances across all competitions this season, most of which have been off the bench.

Adding to the uncertainty, Chukwueze has been linked to a potential swap deal involving Arsenal defender Jakub Kiwior. His injury could complicate Milan’s plans, raising questions about his immediate future with the club.

Milan, who were reportedly considering loaning or transferring the Nigerian forward, may now need to reassess their options as they await updates on his recovery.
