Chukwueze set to start in Coppa Italia before AFCON departure
Nigerian winger Samuel Chukwueze is expected to start in AC Milan’s Coppa Italia clash against Cagliari before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.
As has been reported by Calciomercato.com, Chukwueze will almost certainly be in action from the first minute on January 2nd against Cagliari as it gives Stefano Pioli a chance to rest Christian Pulisic on the right wing.
There is little risk involved for Milan in doing this as Chukwueze is more than capable of doing what is needed in that game and the day after, he will depart to link up with the Nigeria national team as they prepare for the Africa Cup of Nations.
He is one of two Milan players who will be departing for the tournament, as Ismael Bennacer has accepted the call-up from Algeria.
It was not certain that he would be called up by Algeria he has been out injured for many months and has only made two appearances since his return.
He will not have any role to play against Cagliari because the Algerian FA have decided to convene all of their players on January 2, rejecting Milan’s request to let Bennacer go on the 3rd of January so he could face Cagliari.

Re: Chukwueze set to start in Coppa Italia before AFCON departure
Our NFF doesn’t have the balls to do this and that’s why we have all these European clubs disrespecting us by always playing games with us. The next thing you hear is that some of these players got injured during their last games. I sincerely hope my skepticism is unfounded, and the situation improves.

NFF should have turned town the request. He's been held back for a mere cup game.

Re: Chukwueze set to start in Coppa Italia before AFCON departure
Yea, not happening. When Milan called, the NFF would have been so happy like a girl getting a call from her crush! I dont think you have seen most Nigerians receiving a call from a white man. Its like heaven for them! They get so excited and their heart swells with so much giddiness! I can guarantee you that the NFF cannot say "no" to a European club. Absolutely not! people that are hoping to get free tickets to watch Milan in CL?

Re: Chukwueze set to start in Coppa Italia before AFCON departure
They can keep him a little longer, Chukwueze is minus one, in my book.
I am almost happy VO9 got a red card in his last napoli game.

Re: Chukwueze set to start in Coppa Italia before AFCON departure
I would normally agree but who else is going to play on the right wing with Iheanacho also out?

Re: Chukwueze set to start in Coppa Italia before AFCON departure
I’ll get in trouble for this but neither Samu nor Nacho would start for me in the SE. Love en both. But I’d play a front three on Victor, Victor and Ademola with Alex, Wilf and Frank behind them.
And without meaning to trigger any one, the French assist king, Simon, would be ahead of those two for me.
They belong in the squad, but the wouldn’t start.

Re: Chukwueze set to start in Coppa Italia before AFCON departure
Foul! Chukwueze is important to us, just as Lookman and Moses are in their positions. Yes, he has been poor lately but I expect him to deliver this AFCON.

"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land."

Danfo is correct ooo! We tend to bow to these requests easily. Do you think that these clubs will agree to a late call up if Nigeria a failed to send out an invitation on time? Sometimes. Nigeria should stick to its guns.

It's not always about fire and brimstone...The more important thing is about relationships.
There'll be times to stand your ground. But without being privy to the conversations, it is hard to say one way or another...

Liverpool, European Champions 2005.
We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp

Re: Chukwueze set to start in Coppa Italia before AFCON departure
Gut feeling. He knows this is his last chance hence I would expect him to raise his game. He wouldn’t want to miss a World Cup just in case a miracle happens and we qualify. The guy is obviously talented but just needs to make some small adjustments to his game.
