The defender has been battling back from a calf injury, with the hope he’d be fit for the second leg of the Champions League Last 16 tie.
The centre-back returned to the Bianconeri starting XI against Inter in Week 27, but broke down again and went off after 35 minutes.
Chiellini trained apart from his teammates at Vinovo today, meaning he is almost certain to miss Wednesday’s game.
