Nigerian winger Samuel Chukwueze featured prominently in AC Milan’s hard-fought 1-0 victory against Hellas Verona in a Serie A encounter on Friday evening.
Chukwueze, who was named in the starting lineup, contributed effectively to Milan’s attack before being substituted in the 70th minute.
His efforts helped maintain pressure on the opposition in a closely contested match at the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi.
