Juventus winger Federico Chiesa is a doubt for tomorrows Turin derby against Torino, having picked up a knock in training. News emerged yesterday that the 25-year-old stopped suddenly during a training session, returning earlier than the others as a precaution after feeling a strong discomfort in his thigh.
La Gazzetta dello Sport report that the instrumental examinations have excluded injuries, but for Allegri the risk of not having him with Torino is concrete.
Chiesa has so far been the most important player in the Bianconeri attack so far this season, beyond the four goals he has scored. The incident seems very similar to the one that forced him to return early from the national team training camp last month, on the eve of North Macedonia v Italy.
In that circumstance, too, the MRI ruled out muscular injuries: it was only a strong fatigue, which he got over with a few days’ rest. We could be facing the same situation: but this time with a game less than 48 hours away.
