Calf problems, Chiellini was out for three weeks
Juventus are expected to be without their leader Giorgio Chiellini for the next three weeks as the 37-year-old defender is said to be struggling with a calf problem following his injury in the Verona game.
Juventus beat Verona 2-0 (6/2) on Sunday, but they “lost” their leader Giorgio Chiellini, who was forced to make a substitution in the 75th minute. In her briefing on Tuesday (2/9), Vekia Signora revealed that the experienced defender is struggling with calf problems.
According to Italian media, his injury could sideline him for up to three weeks.
In practical terms, this means that he will lose the Coppa Italia quarterfinals against Sassuolo (10/2) by George Kyriakopoulos, the match with Atalanta (13/2), the Torino derby (18/2) as well as the match with Villarreal in the round of 16 the Champions League.
