AC Milan manager Sergio Conceição is set to hand Samuel Chukwueze a starting role in Saturday’s Serie A clash against Hellas Verona, giving the Nigerian winger an opportunity to make an impact.
With a crucial Champions League fixture against Feyenoord looming next week, Conceição is expected to rotate his squad for the league encounter at the San Siro.
According to reports from Sky Sport, Chukwueze will be included in the starting lineup alongside Santiago Giménez and João Félix in Milan’s attacking setup.
The 24-year-old has struggled for regular game time since joining the Rossoneri, often finding himself behind other attacking options in the pecking order.
However, with Conceição looking to manage his squad’s workload, Chukwueze has a chance to prove his worth and stake his claim for a more prominent role in the team.
Milan will be aiming to secure three points against Verona to maintain their position in the league standings while also keeping an eye on their European commitments.
For Chukwueze, this match could be a turning point as he seeks to make a stronger case for consistent minutes under Conceição’s management.
