2023 AFCON: AC Milan to delay Chukwueze till January 3

AC Milan hope they can negotiate with the NFF to release Samuel Chukwueze for the AFCON after the deadline of January 1, 2024.

It is the first case of club vs country as the AFCON will be played smack in the middle of the league season in Europe.

Milan have a cup tie in Italy against Cagliari on January 2 and therefore want to only release Chukwueze after that game.
