After meeting with Antonio Conte and in agreement with Juventus, the decision has been made to count the defender out of next week’s match.
Chiellini, however, will remain with the Italy squad for the duration of their training programme and begin planned treatment on his injury, in an agreement set between Italy and Juve’s medical staff.
