Serious injury leaves Federico Chiesa inactive in Juventus and the Italian team, which will play the playoff in Qatar 2022

Chiesa, 24 years old and son of former Italian international Enrico Chiesa, tore his ligament on January 9 in a Roma-Juventus match.

Federico Chiesa, a Juventus and Italian national team winger, underwent successful surgery for his cruciate ligament injury in his left knee and begins a seven-month recovery process on Monday, the Turin team reported.

Chiesa, 24 years old and son of former Italian international Enrico Chiesa, tore his ligament on January 9 in a Roma-Juventus match and, after waiting two weeks, underwent an operation to reconstruct it in Innsbruck (Austria).

The operation was carried out by Dr. Christian Fink at the Hochrum clinic, supported by a representative of the Juventus medical staff.

The Italian will miss the rest of the season, the 2022 Qatar World Cup playoff and also the first weeks of next season, according to the times estimated by Juventus, who do not want to force his return to ensure that he returns to the best of form. .

Chiesa was one of the standout players last year in Italy’s European Championship triumph, but this season he has been hampered by a long series of physical problems, which began with a muscle injury and culminated in a Crusader injury.

He ends his year with two goals and two assists in Serie A in fourteen games, in addition to the two goals scored in the Champions League, in which Juventus is Villarreal’s rival in the round of 16. (D)
