According to a report by Daily Post on Wednesday October 21, 2026, AC Milan winger Samuel Chukwueze is facing a potential spell on the sidelines after experiencing discomfort in his left hip.

The Nigeria international missed Wednesday morning’s training session ahead of Milan’s UEFA Europa League encounter against Premier League side Bournemouth, raising concerns over his fitness.

According to reports, Chukwueze is expected to undergo a specialist examination to determine the extent of the problem.

Milan are reportedly concerned that the injury could keep the 27-year-old out of action for several weeks or potentially months. However, the full extent of the problem and his expected recovery timeline remain unclear pending further medical assessment.

Chukwueze has enjoyed an encouraging start to the season after returning to Milan following his loan spell at Fulham.

The winger has registered two assists in eight appearances across all competitions, contributing to the club’s attacking efforts with his pace, dribbling and creativity on the flanks.

His potential absence would be a setback for Milan, who could be forced to adjust their attacking options if the injury proves serious.

For now, the focus will be on the results of Chukwueze’s specialist assessment, which should provide a clearer picture of the injury and how long he might be unavailable.

Milan will hope the Nigerian recovers quickly and can return to action without further complications.
