Journalist claims Cuenca is training with first team ahead of possible senior debut

AC Milan are currently blessed with a fine crop of young talent, and there are rumours that another Primavera talent may be in line to make a senior debut in the near future.

This season, Stefano Pioli has regularly had to look to the Primavera squad for reinforcements, but this has not been a bad thing, considering the considerable quality in the youth ranks. With several youngsters impressing so far, there is hope that another few could be given an opportunity soon.

As reported by ESPN journalist Roberto Rojas, Hugo Cuenca has impressed in training recently and has been given the opportunity to train with the first team. He follows on saying that it is ‘highly expected’ that he will make his debut in the upcoming weeks.

Cuenca is an exciting attacking midfielder, and given the workload that Ruben Loftus-Cheek has recently undergone, he could be offered minutes to remove some of the pressure on the Englishman.
