Samuel Chukwueze was the summer signing that many Milan fans were most excited about, but he is so far yet to make a start after three games.
Calciomercato.com recall that Chukwueze has played a total of 53 minutes thus far in the campaign which is not exactly the sparkling start that the winger wanted, but that could soon change.

The Nigerian arrived in the summer from Villarreal for a fee close to €28m, including bonuses, and he returned from his commitments with Nigeria with a lot of confidence having registered a goal and the assist in an AFCON qualifying match against São Tomé and Príncipe.
Moreover, his physical condition – having not been 100% in his first outings of the season – has definitely improved. Stefano Pioli knows this well and is counting on him for the derby against Inter, scheduled for Saturday at 18:00 CEST.
Much will depend on Christian Pulisic’s condition as he will only return to training with the rest of the squad on Thursday, and if he gives the right guarantees he will start against Inter, otherwise there will be room for Chukwueze.
The 24-year-old will certainly play more in the coming weeks. From the derby onwards the Rossoneri will play three times a week until the next break in mid-October. Pulisic is the first choice now, but Pioli has depth he is able to exploit.







Pioli is the main Promplem to make Players Dusty ones,because he makes them less Confidence and .forget their talents and Ckeaverness as well as making their market Prices gi downs and less suitors ,because he does not give them enough time to play look Chekueze and Musah and Pellegerino.
If Puspic Plays 45 Munites Samu must Play the other 45.and If Krunic Palys 45 Musah who is more Important than Krunic is to play other 45 and so on
which team uses that rule ? you do realize that we could only make 5 subs in a game right ? say that Pioli use your rule and change 5 players in half time, what is he supposed to do when a player goes down because of injury ?
Changing players at half time is not a good move. Half time means player got time to rest and gain some energy.
They will play, we got plenty of matches this season so no one will play every match from start. We just play 3 matches and we won all of them, just calm down
As clueless as you are with this statement, you think you are better than Pioli.
No team in the world change during half time
this is not video game
