Juventus captain Giorgio Chiellini has been diagnosed with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee and will require surgery. He could out for 6 months, according to beIN Sports.
The Bianconeri announced the news this evening, as he sustained the injury during today’s training session.
More details will be available after the operation, but this type of injury usually requires three to six months out, depending on the severity of the tear.
It is a serious blow for the reigning champions just hours before their Scudetto showdown with Napoli on Saturday evening.
The 35-year-old defender has often suffered from muscular issues, usually around the calf area, but this is his first real knee ligament injury.
