On the evening of January 10, Beijing time, the injury report of 24-year-old Italian international Federico Chiesa came out, and the examination results showed that the player had a cruciate ligament injury to his left knee.
Kyiesa Jr., 24, was knocked down by Smalling and injured after being shoveled down behind him in this round against Roma, and now he needs to walk on crutches. Juve officially confirmed that The younger Chiesa suffered a cruciate ligament injury to his left knee and would require surgery in the coming days.
A number of Italian journalists confirmed that the young Chiesa had to recover from at least 6-7 months of serious injuries. Di Marzio also believes that Chiesa Jr. will reimburse the season.
Last summer, Chiesa Jr. made a name for himself at the European Championship and was an important contributor to Italy's European Championship victory. In "Transfer Market", his value also soared to 70 million euros, alongside Inter midfielder Barrera as Italy's most expensive player. The season reimbursement of Chiesa Jr. will have a huge impact on Juve, who are still competing for four, and it will be a heavy blow to the Italian national team. The Italian national team will also play the World Preliminary European Zone play-offs in March next year, they are in the same group as North Macedonia, Portugal and Turkey, and the absence of Chiesa Jr. will greatly reduce Italy's attacking power, of course, this is a big positive for Both Ronaldo and Portugal.
The format of the World Preliminary Round European Play-offs is very simple, Italy's opponents in the first round are North Macedonia, they have to pass north Macedonia first, and then the final opponents will be the winners of Portugal and Turkey, both are a fixed win, lose one game and go home, and win 2 consecutive games to advance to the World Cup finals.
