Juventus confirm their star Federico Chiesa suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury against Roma and will undergo surgery in the coming days.
The 24-year-old underwent medical examinations at the J Medical this morning and Juventus have now confirmed the extent of his injury.
“Exams underwent at the J Medical confirmed an anterior cruciate ligament tear,” Juventus statement reads.
“It will be necessary to intervene with surgery in the coming days.”
This morning, the Italy international arrived at Juventus’ private clinic, accompanied by his father and former Serie A striker Enrico.
Sky Sport Italia reports Chiesa’s season is over so the player will return to action in 2022-23 also missing Italy’s World Cup play-offs in March.
Chiesa has two goals and three assists in 14 Serie A appearances this season.
He had joined Juventus from Fiorentina in 2020 on an initial loan deal with an obligation to buy.
Juventus will pay up to €60m, including add-ons, to secure his services.

Too bad for him and the Azzurri …
Very unfortunate for the poor lad. Wishing him speedy recovery. What this definitely means is that Italy’s chances of qualifying for the world cup has reduced to about one percent.
Good news for rivals but goodd news for Italy. Get well, handsome Fede.
Oh, sorry, I meant “but bad news for Italy”. How I did that?
Well we’re screwed now for the playoffs..
Damn, bad for Italy and Juve’s Champions League run (which the whole of Italy rely on)…
Get well soon Fede
Got anymore fancy hyphenated English players you want to bring over, Mourinho?
He should have stepped off the pitch right away… Instead he continued, perhaps that did aggravate the injury.
This is horrid news.. his absence will definitely effect his club and country’s team mates mind set…speedy recovery 💪
Typical new Englishman.
Girls first name and 2 last surnames.
Now we will see if our rubbish midfielders have any cojones. We can forget about bringing in a replacement as the money is not there and Ramsey has handcuffed himself to the training ground gate. It is now or never for Kulu and he has to show the courage to man up. Either way we are not getting into the top 4 and I am praying for an Italy miracle. Even though I hate Inter we have to pray that Barella does not get an injury.
Even as an Inter fan, its really sad to hear his season over. One of the top guy in the league. Juve will find their attacking department even more depleted in europe. Italy will also loss one of their main guy upfront
3 reinforsments fir this winter market:
1. Moussa Diaby from Bayer Leverkusen
2. Son Heung-min from Tottenham
3. Luis Alberto from Lazio
Chiesa, Zaniolo and Lo Pellegrini very talented but too fragile and unreliable. It seeks they will only be playing fringe roles for Azzurri.
Zaniolo last year and Chiesa this year, Roma – Juve should be played on fifa
Bli snart frisk kjære Federico. Du vil bli savnet, men du vil komme tilbake enda sterkere. JEG VIL BE FOR DEG!
Skam på Mourinho å bruke uforberedte Premier League beinbrytere.
Cazzo dici? Stu stronz.
OK, now I know. Sorry !
I agree with you. Only 1 training session is not enough with a new team.
This is Mourinho bringing over his English and Portuguese colony over to Roma. We ain’t seen nothing yet. Poverty player for a poverty team.
Chiesa abused him badly on the first goal. It wouldn’t surprise me if this butcher injured Chiesa on purpose.
@I Miss Juve
Although I am a Juve fan and hate your moniker, I agree with what you said. I wonder if staying on the pitch after the initial contact and being looked at by the medics was the proper call. What if it was only a strain then and only tore after he tried to cut and run?
Where my post?
Agree with that.
If he didn’t try to carry on, he could have been out for just 8-10 Weeks and not needed surgery. (still would have missed the Playoff though).
At the time when I was watching the match it reminded me of the opening game of Italy versus Turkey at Euro 2020.
Chiellini got injured. But left immediately. He said after the match that if he tried to run it off he would have made it worse. Him asking to be subbed off allowed him to return to the tournament, yank Saka by the collar, and lift the Cup.
Chiesa trying to continue on probably went from a Grade 1 to a Grade 3 or 4.
😭😭😭
Universe shower blessings .. help Chiesa comeback stronger and play for Azzurri in the WC. Bless Azzurri to prepare well and qualify for the WC 🙏🍀
Why so many similar injuries in Stadio Olympico❓❓Zaniolo, Demiral, Danilo, Chiesa …. 🙄🙄
