Juventus center-back Giorgio Chiellini highly doubtful for Champions League Final

Bad news for Juventus, and good news for Barcelona as both teams get ready for the UEFA Champions League Final next Saturday.

Star Italian center-back Giorgio Chiellini was forced out of Wednesday's training session after pulling his left calf muscle. He practiced for just a few minutes, and quickly went out once he felt the injury. There is no further update on his condition, since he will be evaluated on Thursday morning to determine the extent of the problem, but his initial status is "doubtful" according to the club.

It's not really nice to speculate on injuries, but this would be just terrible for Juve's chances.
