Chukwueze Undergoes Surgery,  Out for Three Months

Samuel Chukwueze has undergone a hip surgery and will be out for at least three months.

This effectively rules him out of a 2027 AFCON double-header against Tanzania last this month.

AC Milan confirmed in an official statement yesterday  that Chukwueze had surgery in London to repair a ruptured tendon in the left hip.

The statement further said that the player will now return to Italy to begin his rehabilitation.

The Serie A  giants  did not say how long Chukwueze will be out. But various other sources  in Italy  suggested that the Super Eagles forward  will not be back in action  before three months.

Chukwueze was subbed off during Milan’s Serie A match against Atalanta on October 18 and initially , a conservative therapy was opted  for before surgery was finally required.
