With only ten days to go before the Super Eagles of Nigeria take on the Bafana Bafana of South Africa in a crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying match in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, doubts still sorround the fitness of Samuel Chukwueze, according to a reliable insider source inform BSNSports.com.ng.

The AC Milan winger was left out of the team's trip to Australia for a friendly match against AS Roma in Perth on 31st May 2024.

Chukwueze has been recovering from a muscle injury he sustained during the Rossoneri's 5 - 1 win over Cagilari on 1st May 2024.

The injury has already caused him to miss the last two games against Torino and Salernitana, and his exclusion from the Australia trip has raised concern about his availability for the Super Eagles Up - Coming matches.

The Nigeria International has been a key player for the Super Eagles and his absence would be a significant blow to their chances of securing a bac - to - back wins against South Africa and Benin Republic.

Chukwueze's previous experience with a similar injury in October 2023, which caused him to miss three consecutive AC Milan matches, has added to the concerns about his fitness.
