Federico Chiesa is the latest to join a list of Juventus players at risk of missing out on the upcoming Derby della Mole against Torino in Serie A on Saturday evening. 

According to multiple reports on Thursday evening, the 25-year-old pulled up in training earlier in the day and was not able to complete the session. 

La Gazzetta dello Sport’s Juventus correspondent Giovanni Albanese wrote that the injury is nothing particularly serious, but with less than two days to go before kick-off, Juventus may have to do without him on Saturday. 

Gianluca Di Marzio details that the issue stems from a muscular strain, and that a lot depends on how Chiesa is feeling on Friday. 

Meanwhile, Dusan Vlahovic is also a doubt heading into the Torino game, having been out of training earlier in the week with pains in his back. He is now being assessed hour-by-hour to see if he could potentially make the bench according to Di Marzio. 

In more positive news, there is a chance that Arkadiusz Milik could return to the matchday squad, having missed out against Atalanta last weekend with a calf issue.
