Chiellini played 90 minutes in the league premiership away against Parma, but sustained a cross-band injury on training before the meeting with Napoli. If the Turin club shows the same lack of defensive without Chiellini as against Napoli in the future, the hunt for a ninth straight league title can be tough. Against Napoli, Juventus lost a 3–0 lead to 3–3 before deciding to 4–3 at extra time.
Chiellini has played over 500 competition games for Juventus since its debut in 2005.
