Ruben Amorim Axes Christopher Nkunku and David Odogu from AC Milan Squad
AC Milan head coach Ruben Amorim has informed forward Christopher Nkunku and defender David Odogu that they are no longer part of his squad plans and must find new clubs. This decision comes after neither player managed to impress the Portuguese manager during pre-season preparations.
David Odogu is a 20-year-old defender who has yet to make a significant impact at AC Milan. Since joining from VfL Wolfsburg last summer, Odogu has played only five minutes of Serie A football, indicating that he may not be ready for the top level just yet.
