Federico Chiesa is getting closer to returning to competitive action with Juventus after resuming training.
The attacker has been out since earlier this year when he tore his anterior cruciate ligament in a match against AS Roma.
Juve have avoided the temptation to rush him back into competitive action because they want him back in the best possible shape.
Chiesa has been keen to resume standard service and the club arranged a friendly for him at the weekend.
He has also been playing with the club’s youth team to further improve his fitness. A report from Football Italia reveals that he is now ready to return to the pitch for the club.
According to the report, he may not feature in this weekend’s league match, but Chiesa could get a few minutes in the upcoming Champions League match against PSG.
Juve FC says
Chiesa has been one of our key players in recent seasons and we have certainly missed his influence in different matches.
His return gives us a big boost and could rekindle our bid to win Serie A this season.
The Azzurri star has shown over time that he is a player we can trust, so his return will definitely improve our luck, but we must not rush him.
