Federico Chiesa came off in the first half of Juventus’ win over Roma tonight and he may have suffered a serious knee injury.
The 24-year-old Italian winger fell to the ground in the 31st minute of the match after turning away from Ainsley Maitland-Niles. He appeared to be in great pain and was helped off the pitch as he made way for Dejan Kulusevski.
Sports scientist Dr. Rajpal Brar highlighted that the injury to Chiesa could be extremely serious.
He posted a video showing the moment the Italian suffered the injury, saying: “Can see left knee ripple as he’s turning with knee dropping inwards. Potentially indicates an ACL rupture especially within context of other reports that he has a knee ligament sprain. Awaiting examination & imaging results.”
