Milan are reportedly concerned the problem could keep the winger out for several weeks or even months.
AC Milan winger Samuel Chukwueze missed the club's final training session at Milanello on Wednesday because of a problem with his left hip. He is expected to miss Thursday's Europa League match against Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium in England, the third round of the league phase.
The Super Eagles forward will undergo a specialist examination to assess the injury more precisely. According to Sport Mediaset, the examination was scheduled for Wednesday, and GOAL reports that Milan are concerned about the extent of the injury.
The problem reportedly began after Milan's 3-2 Serie A win over Atalanta on Sunday, October 18.
Complete Sports reports that Milan worry the problem could keep him out for several weeks, or even months.
Chukwueze has made an encouraging start to the season under AC Milan coach Ruben Amorim since returning from a loan spell at Fulham. His tally for the Rossoneri in all competitions reads eight appearances and two assists.
Matteo Gabbia and Alexis Saelemaekers also missed the session. The Belgian Saelemaekers is already out after recent ankle surgery, and he is expected to be sidelined for at least five months. Filippo Terracciano will be unavailable through suspension, and Warren Bondo was left off the UEFA list, though both were with the group. Milan Futuro defender Valeri Vladimirov has also joined the first-team squad.
Whether Chukwueze can play in Milan's next fixtures hinges on what his medical check shows, and that result will set the length of any recovery needed before he goes back to training and games.
