Whilst back in action of late following a separate thigh injury, Chile Coach Jorge Sampaoli drew attention back to the 27-year-old’s knee this weekend in commenting that he ended the win over Peru ‘with pain in his knee tendon’.
The Gazzetta dello Sport are leading suggestions from Italy today that it is a situation that has seen Juventus officials contact Chile counterparts to request Vidal return to Turin ahead of schedule and skip tomorrow’s match with Bolivia.
