Giorgio Chiellini suffered a serious injury on Friday afternoon: the Juventus defender has been diagnosed with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, meaning he will require surgery in the next few days.
As a result, Head Coach Mancini, who named the Azzurri captain in his squad for Italy’s upcoming matches against Armenia and Finland, has called up Lazio defender Francesco Acerbi in his place.
