Manager Maximilliano Allegri will be desperate to have Chukwueze available for the game, especially with Portugal international Rafael Leao has been officially been ruled out with a calf injury.

This latest setback adds another layer of uncertainty to a summer that has been filled with speculation about Chukwueze’s future at the San Siro.

Since his high-profile arrival from Villarreal two years ago, the Nigeria international has struggled to consistently secure a starting role, leading to widespread rumors about a potential departure before the summer transfer window closes.

Fulham and Real Betis have been cited as the most interested parties, keeping a close watch on his situation.
