Samuel Chukwueze could finally be on the verge of regaining his starting spot when AC Milan take on Bologna in Saturday’s crucial Serie A encounter.
The Nigerian forward, who has delivered standout performances in recent matches, is now a strong contender to feature from the start, footballrover reports.
With the home team struggling in their recent form, could the Nigerian be the key to unlocking another Milan victory?
AC Milan’s head coach has teased the possibility of deploying Chukwueze alongside Christian Pulisic and Okafor, making it potentially his third start this season.
The match, which will take place at Stadio Renato Dall’Ara, promises to be a turning point, not only for Milan but also for Super Eagles star, who is eager to cement his place in the starting lineup.
The Nigerian international has been in impressive form lately. Last weekend, the Nigerian winger delivered a decisive goal that secured Milan’s fourth Serie A victory of the season.
Just days later, in a Champions League clash, the winger provided a crucial assist that helped Milan secure a 3-1 win over Club Brugge, despite being brought on as a late substitute.

With two goal contributions in eight matches and just 271 minutes of playtime this season, Chukwueze’s efficiency has not gone unnoticed by Milan’s coach.
As their host continues to struggle, winless in their last six matches, all eyes will be on the former Villarreal star as he aims to make a significant impact.
Chukwueze to get defining opportunity against Bologna?

AC Milan’s head coach Paulo Fonseca, who has recognised the player’s recent contributions as vital, stated,
“Chukwueze, Pulisic, and Okafor from the start? Maybe. I’m thinking about that now.”
With Samuel’s potential return to the starting lineup, it will be nice to see if the Nigerian can help propel the team to another important victory.
This could mark a defining moment in his season as the Super Eagles star continues to push for more game time.
