AC Milan winger, Samuel Chukwueze is a major doubt for Nigeria’s 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against South Africa and Benin Republic.
Chukwueze sustained an injury in Rossoneri’s Serie A clash with Cagliari on Saturday.
The 24-year-old was replaced just after the break by Rafael Leao.
It was later revealed that he had suffered a muscle injury to his thigh.
