Juventus Winger, Federico Chisea To Undergo Knee Ligament Surgery
Juventus announced that Federico Chisea got injured during the club’s victory against Roma on Sunday.
The 24-year-old Italian international came off in the first half of the game after turning away from Roma’s Ainsley Maitland-Niles.
He was moved off the pitch with the help of Dejan Kulusevski coming on as his replacement.
Giving an update, Juventus stated on their website that the player will undergo surgery in the next few days.
Chiesa is likely to be absent for the rest of the season in what is a huge blow to Massimiliano Allegri’s side. The Bianconeri, who face Inter in the Supercoppa Italiana on Wednesday, they are presently 11 points off the league-leading champions and three outside the top four. They continue their Coppa Italia defence against Sampdoria next week, while their Champions League last-16 tie with Villarreal begins in February.
Chiesa has bagged four goals and two assists in 18 appearances for Juve in all competitions this season, his dynamic displays with the ball at his feet often a notable bright spot in a difficult campaign for Allegri.
