Will miss Parma, Sassuolo games

Redazione Ansa

(ANSA) - Turin, February 1 - Skipper Giorgio Chiellini has added to Juventus's defensive injury woes as a calf muscle injury in the 3-0 Italian Cup defeat at Atalanta Wednesday looks set to keep him sidelined for 10-15 days, coach Massimiliano Allegri said Friday.
    The Italian champions are already without Chiellini's partner Leonardo Bonucci who is out for up to a month after spraining his ankle in Juventus's 2-1 win at Lazio Sunday night.
    The seven-time straight and reigning Serie A champs are 11 points clear of Napoli in second.
    Chiellini will miss the home game against Parma Saturday and also probably the game at Sassuolo in a week's time.
    Allegri dismissed talk of a "crisis" after the Atalanta thumping, saying "it was just one game".
    Bonucci is a serious doubt for the upcoming Champions League quarterfinal at Atletico Madrid.
