Report: Juve unhappy with Chile

By Football Italia staff

Reports in the Chilean Press have claimed that the national team have received a complaint from Juventus regarding Arturo Vidal’s recovery.

The 27-year-old had minor knee surgery last month, and has been in a race against time to be fit for Chile’s first game of the World Cup against Australia this evening.

Stories suggest that the Bianconeri man is likely to feature at some point, but Emol Deportes have revealed that the Serie A champions have been unhappy with Jorge Sampaoli’s side for their treatment of Vidal.

The former Bayer Leverkusen enforcer played in their friendly against Northern Ireland a few weeks ago, despite protestation from Antonio Conte’s team.

And the paper have revealed that the Turin outfit have written to the national team to declare their unhappiness at his rush back to the field.

Juve are thought to be concerned that Vidal could re-injure the meniscus in his knee, as he angles to play in Brazil.
