Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri confirmed that Giorgio Chiellini suffered a muscle injury after he was forced off in the dying stages of their Serie A game on Saturday.
Chiellini was replaced by Andrea Barzagli in the 81st minute of the goalless draw between Juventus and SPAL and is now expected to miss Italy's upcoming friendlies against Argentina and England.
"Chiellini has a muscle pain," Allegri told Sky Sports, as quoted by Mundo Deportivo. "I do not know if he will go to the national team. Fortunately there is an international break and we have time to recover energy.
