As their season enters a critical juncture, Juventus have an unwelcome problem to deal with. The club has confirmed that Giorgio Chiellini, their world-class center back and vice-captain, will miss the next 20 days with a leg injury.
That span will cover both Saturday's top-of-the-table showdown with Napoli and the first leg of Juve's marquee Champions League round-of-16 tie with Bayern Munich. It will also potentially see him miss the Derby d'Italia clashes with Internazionale—one in the league and one in the Coppa Italia—at the end of February and beginning of March.
