Chiellini to miss Napoli, Bayern?

By Football Italia staff

Giorgio Chiellini’s injury could reportedly see him miss crucial Juventus fixtures against Napoli and Bayern Munich.

The defender picked up a knock to his calf during the Bianconeri’s 2-0 Serie A win over Frosinone on Sunday.

Corriere dello Sport has reported that he will definitely miss the Scudetto showdown with Napoli this weekend and possibly also the Champions League last 16 first leg with Bayern on 23 February.

The newspaper writes that Sami Khedira could be back in time for Saturday, but that Mario Mandzukic’s recovery will be more difficult.

La Stampa believes that Chiellini’s injury will force Massimiliano Allegri to return to a four-man defence for the Partenopei clash.
