Chiellini leaves Italy camp

By Football Italia staff

Multiple reports suggest Giorgio Chellini has left the Italy camp after suffering a calf injury in training.

The centre-back was forced to quit training earlier today after taking a knock, and was sent for tests by Azzurri medics ahead of the Macedonia match.

Now SportMediaset, Sky and TuttoJuve are reporting that Chiellini has left the training camp, and will return to Juventus.

It’s bad news for both the national team and the Bianconeri, as Italy have already lost Riccardo Montolivo to injury and Graziano Pellè was sent home.

For the Old Lady, meanwhile, there is now a serious shortage of defenders with Daniele Rugani and Medhi Benatia already sidelined.
