Chiellini injury could force Juve signing
Juventus have been forced to contend with a mounting injury crisis, with Giorgio Chiellini the latest player to be laid low. Chiellini joins Leonardo Bonucci and Andrea Barzagli on the sidelines meaning Daniele Rugani and new signing Martin Caceres are the only fit centre-backs. As such, Massimiliano Allegri may have to look to the market for reinforcements, particularly with Champions League games on the horizon. Portugal veteran Bruno Alves, who is now plying his trade with Parma following a stint in Scotland with Rangers, has been touted as a potential addition.
