The "Juventus" team received unpleasant news - main defender Giorgio Chiellini dropped out of the lineup for three months.

The Italian national team player himself revealed on Thursday that he suffered a calf injury, which will prevent him from helping his team for a long time.

"Unfortunately, my calf muscle injury has been confirmed. I won't be able to play for a certain period of time... But I will try to return to the lineup as soon as possible," the Italian wrote on his "Twitter" account.

Not long ago, Brazilian player Lucio, who played in G. Chiellini's position, left the ranks of the Italian champions. It is believed that the club will try to acquire a new defender in January.
