Giorgio Chiellini Set to Miss Juventus' Crucial Champions League Clash With Ajax Due to Injury

Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini is set to miss his side's crucial quarter-final first leg against Ajax in the Champions League on Wednesday, after picking up a calf injury in the final training session before the team were due to fly to Amsterdam.

The talismanic centre back has played 30 times across competitions this season, and played a massive part in their comeback victory over Atletico Madrid in the last 16.

However, according to Goal, I Bianconeri may be without their vociferous captain for the encounter at the Johan Cruyff Arena, after the 34-year-old sustained an issue in his calf during the club's final training session in Turin.
