Chiellini aims for Zenit
Wednesday 10 September, 2008
Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini is aiming to make his comeback from injury against Zenit St Petersburg on September 17.
The Azzurri stopper damaged ligaments in his knee during the pre-season Trofeo Berlusconi against Milan.
Initial forecasts were bleak, but Chiellini has recovered ahead of schedule and is hoping to feature in Juve's first Champions League encounter.
“I'm hoping to be back for the game against Zenit,” he said. “Who wouldn't want to play in that game?
“My knee feels an awful lot better. I will make myself available, but it will be up to the Coach to decide if he wants to play me on Sunday or at any stage after.”
Claudio Ranieri will be keeping a close eye on Chiellini's condition and now has the added worry of today's injury to Nicola Legrottaglie.
