Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini did not train today with his teammates but his condition is still unknown.
According to TuttoMercatoWeb, Chiellini missed training today through injury and the defender will undergo medical tests tomorrow to determine his situation.
The Italian international was forced to come off for Daniele Rugani in the first half of his side’s 2-0 win over rivals Inter. When Massimiliano Allegri was asked to update the player’s condition after the game, the former Milan boss said,:
“Nothing serious. He came out as a precaution due to a knock on his calf muscle.”
While Allegri maintains that it isn’t a long-term injury, the hard-nosed defender will still undergo tests to ensure the injury doesn’t reoccur. This is not Chiellini’s first injury this season as the defender has missed a number of games recently due to knocks.
Without Chiellini in the lineup, Allegri will have the choice to go with a back four or stick with the back three and hand Rugani some starts. Yesterday, the Italian tactician opted to stay put with the 3-5-2 and brought on Rugani. With games against Inter and Atalanta coming up, expect the former Empoli man to play a crucial role.
