Federico Chiesa has been working to get back to full fitness and was instrumental in helping Juventus beat Udinese in Serie A yesterday.
The attacker was injured last January and was sidelined for ten months before appearing again for a few minutes with Juve last year.
He has continued with his recovery and Juve wants not to overload him with game minutes, but each game he steps on the pitch is improving.
He entered the game against the Friulians after the hour mark and was instrumental in the win by providing the assist for Danilo’s late goal.
After the game, the Italian media praised him for his contribution and Football Italia selected some of them.
La Gazzetta Dello Sport wrote: “Half an hour can be enough if you are in another category. Perfect remnant to the invitation of Paredes, delicious assistance from Danilo. Yes, Fede has returned ”.
Corriere Della Sera added: “he changed the inertia of the afternoon, up to the decisive assist”.
Juve FC says
Chiesa is one of the best players in Serie A and an injury has taken away a year of action on the field.
He is gradually coming back to his best and Max Allegri is managing his minutes magnificently right now.
Pretty soon, he’ll be fit enough to play the full 90 minutes and we’ll see the best of him.
