The chances of Samuel Chukwueze representing Nigeria when they play in the 2026 world cup qualifiers against South Africa and Benin Republic is looking very slim. Chukwueze hasn’t played for Italian Serie A side AC Milan for a month but was somehow named in the 25 man team for the games by newly appointed coach Finidi George.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
AC Milan are presently in Australia for an off season friendly game against fellow Serie A side Roma, and the Nigerian wasn’t included in the team that travelled yesterday, a further confirmation that he isn’t fit enough to be involved casting doubts over his availability for Nigeria.
We can exclusively report that the 25 year old was optimistic that he will be fit and ready for the game hence his inclusion by Finidi, who spoke with him before taking a final decision on including him in the team.
A replacement from what we gathered is currently been mooted ahead of the games on the 7th against South Africa and four days later against Benin Republic. Both games the team need to win in order to get their campaign back on track after back to back draws in their first two games.
