UCL boost for Chelsea as this Juventus defended is unlikely to start

Ahead of the Blues next Uefa Champions League clash with Italian club Juventus, the recent reports have revealed that the Old Ladies may be without their key defender Giorgio Chiellini for the match.

This comes as Chiellini arrived at the Italy camp with an injury during the ongoing international break.

Chiellini will miss the Juventus clash against Lazio in the Italian Seria A League and is also thought to be at risk against the Blues in the UCL.

This is a big boost for Chelsea, having lost the first leg of the match to Juve in Turin in September with a 1-0 scoreline.

The second leg of the match would be played at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday, November 23, and the Blues would hope to win all three points.

The Blues striker Romelu Lukaku who has been out for some weeks now, is likely to be available for the match.

Chelsea are currently at second spot behind Juventus in Group H in the UCL.

The Blues are the current European champions, having lifted the trophy last season after defeating Man City in the final.
