Juventus Breathe Sigh Of Relief Over Giorgio Chiellini Injury
The results of the scans determined that the injury was not as bad as first thought...
By Rick D'Andrea
The Bianconeri staff automatically thought the worst when the Italian international went down against Fiorentina.
"This evening, Chiellini has undergone MRI scans undertaken by Professor Carlo Faletti at the Fornaca di Sessant Clinic," a statement on the club's website said. "There is no tear in the muscle in the back of his left leg."
The 25-year-old will miss the Fulham clash in the Europa League on Thursday and the Siena match on Sunday, as a precautionary measure.
