Terrible news for Juventus and the Italian national team: Federico Chiesa says goodbye to the season. The Bianconero winger left the pitch yesterday during the first half of Roma-Juventus and his injury immediately seemed very serious.
This morning the Vecchia Signora confirmed the terrible feelings with a statement: “Yesterday Federico Chiesa suffered a blunt trauma with a sprained left knee. The examinations this morning showed an injury to the anterior cruciate ligament. It will be necessary to intervene surgically in the coming days“.
The player, this morning, had appeared smiling in the medical facilities of the club, granting photos to some tifosi who encouraged him. Now he will have to start a hard and complicated journey to see him again in the green. Chiesa will miss the rest of the course and the fundamental play-off in March with Italy, which will have to beat Macedonia and one between Turkey and Portugal to qualify for the World Cup. A disaster.
