Reports suggest Giorgio Chiellini could return for Juventus against Bayern Munich on Tuesday.

The Bianconeri face the German giants in the Champions League Last 16 next week, but have been battling an injury crisis.

Mario Mandzukic, Chiellini, Kwadwo Asamoah, Martin Caceres and Alex Sandro were all expected to be on the sidelines for the first leg in Turin, with Leonardo Bonucci a doubt.

However, following yesterday’s news that Alex Sandro’s injury is not as bad as first feared and Bonucci had returned to training, there could be further good news for Coach Massimiliano Allegri.

Tuttosport reports that Mandzukic is increasingly likely to be available, having managed to return quicker than expected.

At the other end of the pitch, Chellini is also fighting to be fit having initially been ruled out for 20 days with a muscular injury.

The Italian international will not play against Bologna tomorrow, but could be risked in one of Juve’s biggest games of the season.
