Chiellini a doubt for Juventus' Champions League clash with Ajax

The defender may miss out on the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final

Georgio Chiellini is in danger of missing Juventus' Champions League quarter-final first leg against Ajax due to an injury.

Less than two days before the start of the tie, Chiellini suffered a calf injury in Juventus' last training session before travelling to Amsterdam for the opening leg.

The result is that Chiellini is seen as doubtful for Wednesday's clash as the club may very well have to play without the veteran central defender.
