Criticism directed at Max Allegri following Juventus’ defeat in the Derby d’Italia to Inter extends to the handling of Federico Chiesa. Chiesa was only brought on as a substitute for the final 25 minutes of the 1-0 loss at San Siro, and in the past seven rounds, he has made just three brief appearances off the bench. Even during his limited time on the field, he suffered a new injury, sustaining a bruised right foot.

Doubts are arising regarding whether Chiesa, now 26, will ever fully recover from the severe knee injury he suffered in January 2022. Despite playing just 1,185 minutes of Serie A football across 18 appearances this season, Chiesa managed to contribute six goals and two assists, an improvement from the previous season where he scored four goals in 33 competitive matches.

With his contract expiring in June 2025, concerns arise if his fitness levels cannot be enhanced or if he has fallen behind Kenan Yildiz in Allegri’s tactical plans. These factors significantly impact Chiesa’s future prospects. As one of the most valuable players in the Juventus squad, a potential sale this summer appears increasingly likely under the circumstances.

Furthermore, considering Juventus’ repeated links with Lazio winger Felipe Anderson as a free agent, it further suggests the likelihood of Chiesa departing the club.
