Milan fear a lengthy lay-off for Chukwueze: could Athekame return in January? Two factors are needed

Europa League

AFC Bournemouth

AC Milan

<p><span>AC Milan had a player for the right flank but chose to loan him to Lyon so he could spend a season as a starter, a crucial step in his development as a footballer. </span><b><strong>Athekame has flourished in Ligue 1, exceeding even the most optimistic expectations with 2 goals and 3 assists in his first 7 matches.</strong></b><span> The Swiss international now looks like the answer to the structural problem in </span><i><em>AC Milan's</em></i><span> squad.</span></p>

Athekame would solve the problems

<p><span>Athekame looks unlikely to return to AC Milan in the January transfer window, despite being at the French club on a straight loan. Fonseca would first need convincing. He has played a major part in the former Young Boys player's development and would like to keep him at least until the end of the season. Lyon pose another obstacle: without financial compensation, the French club's owners would not even sit down for talks with AC Milan's owners.</span></p>
