MN: Chukwueze suffers serious muscle injury and will be out for one month | OneFootball

Some more bad news has arrived on the injury front for AC Milan as they are likely to be without Samuel Chukwueze for a few weeks.

There was a worrying moment for Chukwueze in the first half of the 1-1 draw against Roma and it came not long after an attempt on goal as he fell to the floor clutching his hamstring. He immediately requested a change, with Tammy Abraham taking his place.

He looked in real pain when he went down which immediately led to fears of a muscle tear rather than just a tweak, and a further update has come today following the news that he has not travelled for the Supercoppa Italiana in Saudi Arabia.

According to MilanNews, the MRI scan carried out has revealed a lesion of the left femoral biceps. The Nigerian will be re-examined in ten days and he is expected to be out for at least one month, meaning he would miss the whole of January.

That means the winger will be out for: Juventus in the Supercoppa semi-final, the final (if Milan quality), Cagliari at home, Como away, Juventus away, Girona at home, Parma at home and Dinamo Zagreb away. The derby on 2 February may well be the target.
