Super Eagles winger Samuel Chukwueze was caged, as he could not dazzle in his first unofficial start on Wednesday evening after AC Milan lost by a lone goal to Serie C side Trento in a tune-up game, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Italy's tabloid La Gazzetta dello Sport recalled how the Nigerian played about an hour but didn’t score while his team-mates didn’t either, which admittedly were largely the reserves from the Silvio Berlusconi Trophy the night before in Monza.

15-year-old Francesco Camarda even came off the bench, which says a lot about the experimental nature of the game from Stefano Pioli’s point of view.

Leon Sipos netted the winner for Trento as they emerged 1-0 victors, with the striker having come through the academy product of Dinamo Zagreb.

With the loss put behinf, Chukwueze and his teammates are preparing for the next friendlies on Saturday and Sunday against Tunisian giants Etoile du Sahel and Novara respectively, aperitifs for the league debut against Bologna on the 21st.
