Samuel Chukwueze was handed his first start as AC Milan were held to a 0-0 draw by Newcastle United in their UEFA Champions League clash at the San Siro.
Chukwueze was replaced by Christian Pulisic in the 61st minute of the encounter.
The 24-year-old failed to make much impact in the keenly contested game.
The winger was not decisive in attack and was also unable to find the right combination to unlock the Newcastle defence.

Stefano Pioli’s side will travel away to Borussia Dortmund for their next game on Wednesday, October 4.
Newcastle United will entertain Paris Saint-Germain at the Saint James’ Park same day.

The reportage is a biased falsehood! We all watched the game and Chukwueze played well, A player is not always substituted because he plays badly. It is sometimes a tactical change.
Don’t know which game you watched, but chukwueze was just useless. Please go back and watch the match and honestly come back and tell us what his contribution was in the game. Sometimes he feels indispensable. Don’t worry he will continue to warm the bench.
