Since sustaining an unfortunate ACL injury during the match against Roma last January, Federico Chiesa has been on a long road to recovery.
The winger has been missed by team-mates, supporters and everyone at the club, especially amid the Old Lady’s recent troubles.
Fortunately, the Euro 2020 hero is about to reach the end of the dark tunnel as his return to the pitch draws ever closer.
The 24-year-old has recently rejoined his team-mates in training while showing himself to be in good physical shape. He also participated in some action with the club’s U-17s.
According to Tuttosport via ilBianconero, Chiesa could be part of the matchday squad when Juventus host Empoli next Friday.
Juve FC says
Whether Max Allegri decides to risk the player or not remains to be seen, but some delicate evaluation will surely be made during the week.
Chiesa has just returned from one of the nastiest injuries an athlete can suffer, and the chances of a relapse should always be considered.
Although Juventus are in dire need of a star player who can raise the club’s level on the pitch, the medical and technical staff must be extremely cautious when it comes to reintroducing the winger into the fold.
