Juventus have confirmed that their winger Federico Chiesa has suffered a serious injury in training, and is unlikely to return to action for the remainder of the season.

The news comes after Chiesa was involved in a collision during training earlier this week, which saw him suffer a serious head injury. The Italian club released a statement on Friday morning, confirming that he would be out for "an extended period" and that he would undergo further medical tests to determine the extent of his injuries.

Chiesa, who joined Juventus from Torino in January, had made a strong start to life at the club, scoring four goals in his first six games for the Bianconeri. However, his injury means that he will now miss what could be a crucial part of the season for them.

It is unclear when Chiesa will be able to return to training or the pitch again, but it is likely that he will need to undergo surgery and recovery time before he can make a full recovery. This could mean that he may not play again until next season, leaving a gap in the team that could be difficult to fill.

Juventus fans will be hoping that Chiesa makes a speedy recovery, as he has been one of the standout performers for the club so far this season. His absence could leave a significant void in their attack, with the team currently trailing Serie A leaders AC Milan by just three points.
