Injured Chukwueze May Miss Europa Final Clash Against United
Villarreal winger Samuel Chukwueze is a doubt for the club’s
UEFA Europa League final clash against Manchester United in Poland on May 26,
after suffering a muscle injury to his left leg in the team’s semi-final tie
against Arsenal last Thursday.
According to the club’s medical report on Saturday, the
winger had suffered “muscle damage” to his left leg, which may take a month to
fully heal, potentially ruling him out of the final at the Stadion Energa
Gdańsk in Poland.
Chukwueze has been a key member of Villarreal’s Europa
League campaign, featuring in 11 out of 14 games, scoring once and providing
four assists, including one in the first leg semi-final against Arsenal in
Spain.
Villarreal beat Arsenal 2-1 on aggregate in the semi-finals
to book a final date with Manchester United.
