Chiesa tipped to start for Juventus in the friendly against Arsenal

Although the World Cup is not over yet, most Juventus fans will be more interested in the action in London this Saturday than in Doha (which will host the bronze medal game).

This weekend will mark the club’s return to competitiveness, albeit in a friendly test, as Max Allegri’s men travel to the English capital for a match with Arsenal.

According to tuttosport via the black and whitethis event could count on the return of Federico Chiesa to the starting lineup for the first time since January.

The winger had suffered an ACL injury that kept him out of action for more than 10 months, but he recently returned to the pitch, making three second-half appearances just before the winter break.

The source expects the 25-year-old to start from the get-go against the Premier League leaders.

As the report explains, Allegri will keep the 3-5-2 line-up which has paid off as the club managed to kick off a six-match domestic winning streak.

Despite being a natural winger, Chiesa will reportedly start up front alongside Moise Kean, in the absence of the club’s other attacking options; Angel Di Maria, Dusan Vlahovic and Arek Milik.

The match between Juventus and the Gunners will take place this Saturday at the Emirates Stadium in north London. The kick-off will be at 19:00 (CET).
