Will Chukwueze be fit? Coach Chelle worries

Posted : 22 May 2025

Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle is anxious about Samuel Chukwueze’s fitness ahead of Nigeria’s upcoming match against Ghana in the Unity Cup tournament in London. The winger’s condition has raised concerns as the team prepares for the important clash.


Despite a challenging season with AC Milan, Chukwueze was included in the Super Eagles’ 26-man roster for the Unity Cup, as well as the 21-player squad named for the international friendly against Russia. His inclusion highlights his value to the national team despite recent injury issues.


Chukwueze missed AC Milan’s 3-1 defeat to AS Roma at the Stadio Olimpico due to an injury sustained during training. He was sidelined after developing inflammation in his pubic bone, which has impacted his availability.


Italian news source Milanpress reports that Chukwueze is in a race against time to recover in time for AC Milan’s upcoming Serie A fixture against Monza on May 24 at the San Siro stadium. His recovery progress remains crucial for both club and country.


This injury situation has cast doubt over whether Chukwueze will be ready to feature against Ghana at the Gtech Community Stadium in London on May 28. His fitness is now a key factor in the team’s preparation and strategy.


Coach Chelle will be hoping that Chukwueze regains full fitness soon, especially since other key attackers like Ademola Lookman and Victor Osimhen are absent from the squad. The team will be relying on Chukwueze’s contributions to strengthen their attacking options.


This season, the former 2015 FIFA U17 World Cup winner has made 33 appearances in Serie A for AC Milan, starting nine matches. His experience and skill will be valuable if he can recover in time for Nigeria’s crucial fixtures.
