AC Milan forward, Samuel Chukwueze, has finally trained with the rest of the team since making a switch from Spanish La Liga side, Villarreal some weeks ago.
Chukwueze joined AC Milan last month and has been unable to work with his new manager and most members of the first team due to the Rossoneri’s pre-season tour in the United States where they faced Real Madrid, Juventus, and Barcelona.
The former Villarreal star, following the confirmation of his move to the Italian club, stayed in Milan to concentrate on getting to full match fitness and was not part of the friendly games.
With the seven-time European champions returning to training on Snnday, the 24-year-old finally got the chance to meet his new boss and teammates.
The club shared photos of the training session on Sunday as the Nigerian was involved with the rest of the team.
Chukwueze is Pioli’s seventh summer signing and his addition to the club with the potential of starting on either side of the flanks with Raphael Leao has been has been touted as a dangerous two-flanked attack.
According to Tuttomercatoweb, Milan manager Pioli will also begin running the rule over Super Eagles winger Samuel Chukwueze as the club resumed training on Sunday.
Chukwueze will be hoping to settle in quickly before the 2021/2022 Serie A champions first league game of the season on August 21 against Bologna.
He could get the chance to make his unofficial debut on Tuesday when AC Milan face Monza at the U-Stadium in the Silvio Berlusconi trophy.
Pioli’s side will also have further tests against Tronto, Étoile du Sahel and Novara which will all be played behind closed doors.
