AC Milan Celebrate Chukwueze As He Returns To Training After 2023 AFCON [Video]

Italian Seria A giants, AC Milan gave their Super Eagles winger, Samuel Chukwueze, a rousing welcome as he returned to training after the 2023 AFCON.

Chukwueze was one of the prominent Super Eagles players in the just concluded 2023 AFCON as he was deemed good enough to start in the final of the tournament.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t do much for the Nigerian side as the hosts of the tournament, Ivory Coast, defeated the Super Eagles 2-1 to grab the trophy.

Despite failing to win the title, Chukwueze and his Super Eagles teammates were handsomely rewarded by the country’s president, Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Tuesday, February 13.

They were given national honours, a plot of land each in Abuja, the country’s capital city, and cash rewards.

Afterwards, Chukwueze returned to AC Milan and was seen in training on Wednesday, where his club’s teammates gave him a hero’s welcome.
