Federico Mattiello should undergo surgery tonight with Juventus and Chievo medics after a horrific injury.
The 19-year-old fractured his tibia and fibula during today’s 0-0 draw with Roma.
Owned by Juve and joining Chievo on loan in January, the two clubs united to analyse the X-rays and discuss how to proceed.
Juventus sent Doctor Tencone, the co-ordinator of the medical staff, to the Negrar Hospital in Verona to visit Mattiello.

It’s reported the surgery will be tonight at 20.30 GMT after earlier rumours it would be on Monday morning.
The good news is that there does not appear to be any knee ligament damage, so he’ll be out of action for between five and seven months.
“The lad is fairly calm,” agent Andrea Pastorello told Sky Sport Italia.
“Obviously it was a horrible injury and interrupted important steps forward in his career. More than anything he’s disappointed to see his season end here.”
