Juventus receive Chiellini hamstring injury boost

The centre-back was withdrawn midway through Tuesday's 1-0 Coppa Italia quarter-final defeat to Roma, but underwent tests on Wednesday which revealed the extent of the injury.

"Giorgio Chiellini has today undergone a series of medical tests in Turin," read a statement on the club's website.

"These ruled out any serious damage, instead revealing muscular fatigue towards the back of his left thigh."
