Thus, Chiesa - one of the heroes when Italy won European Championship gold this summer - misses the national team's playoff matches for the World Cup in March.

Chiesa linked off the field after a duel against Chris Smalling in the first half.

The 24-year-old is replaced by Swedish Dejan Kulusevski who scored one of Juventus' goals in the 4-3 victory.

Kulusevski in particular has for some time been surrounded by the relocation rumors, but after Chiesa's injury, several media have written that Juventus can now keep the Swede instead of selling him.
