Federico Chiesa has suffered a serious injury that requires surgery, Juventus has announced.
This effectively rules him out for the rest of the season and also means he would miss Italy’s playoff match for the World Cup a few months from now.
The report says he felt a blunt trauma sprain to his left knee and after a visit to the club’s clinic, it has been determined that he has damaged his anterior cruciate ligament.
The club’s statement on its website reads: “During yesterday’s match, Federico Chiesa felt a blunt trauma sprain to his left knee.
“The diagnostic tests performed this morning at J|Medical revealed an injury of the anterior cruciate ligament.
“It will be necessary for the player to undergo surgery in the next few days.”
Juve FC Says
This news would come as a tremendous blow to the Bianconeri who have just welcomed him back from yet another injury.
The Fiorentina loanee has become one of the most important players for Juve and the Italian national team.
The club has been banking on him to score goals and win points for them.
His contributions are one reason we have remained close to the top four places and also performed well in the Champions League.
We desperately need an attacker now. Chiesa is gone, and even Dybala keeps getting injured again and again.
And Morata and Kean don’t score that much.
We have to bring someone in this window. Loan Berwign from Tottenham or someone.
The whole squad needs a huge overhaul and that will take time. What we can do this month is questionable with probable loans with an option to buy the best way to go. Every part of the squad needs a lot of work, it’s just a question of what we prioritize this month.
This time Allegri has to try to give his trust to a young player like Soule or Kaio Jorge…
This is heartbroken news. I wish him the quickest recovery .
Grande federico get well soon
