Federico Chiesa scares Juventus: his condition

Despite the league stoppage, there continues to be no shortage of injuries.

Federico Chiesa is keeping Juventus, which has already lost Leonardo Bonucci, on edge. The Old Lady’s talented offensive outfielder suffered a right ankle injury during Tuesday morning’s training match at the Continassa, and his condition does not convey great optimism to the Bianconeri environment.

According to what has been gathered by the ‘Gazzetta dello Sport,’ in fact, Chiesa is dealing not only with the ankle knock but also with an adductor strain in his right thigh. The extent of the problem will be assessed in a few days, but his absence in the friendly against Arsenal in London on Dec. 17 appears almost certain.

During the course of the day on Wednesday, news also came about Bonucci’s condition. Juventus, in an official note, spoke of “inflammation of the long adductor tendon” and a condition that “will be re-evaluated in 10 days.”
