MILAN - Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini is likely to have to wear a face mask to protect a broken nose in Saturday's home clash with Serie A leaders Inter Milan, his club said on Monday.

He will return to full training on Thursday with Juve desperate to have one of their top defenders fit after a bad run.
