Chukwueze Undergoes Hip Surgery Ahead of Super Eagles’ Tanzania Qualifier

Nigeria’s preparations for their 2027 AFCON qualifier against Tanzania have been hit by Samuel Chukwueze’s injury. AC Milan confirmed that the Super Eagles winger underwent surgery in London to repair a ruptured tendon in his left hip. The operation was described as a success. Chukwueze is expected to return to Italy for rehabilitation under AC Milan’s medical team. His recovery timeline has not been disclosed, so it is unclear whether he will be available for the match on Friday, November 13. He will also miss AC Milan’s Europa League game against Ferencváros. The 26-year-old joined Milan from Villarreal in 2023 and spent last season on loan at Fulham.
