Federico Chiesa, who has been stopped since January for the rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, plans to return "in early September, maybe a little earlier. The important thing will be not to have relapses".
He said it today, in Turin, on the sidelines of the inauguration of the new Save the Children educational hub created with the contribution of Juventus.
"My dream is to return as soon as possible, - explained the Juventus forward - I am surrounded by professionals and the medical staff is fantastic. I started running and making changes of direction".
Ready to team up with Vlahovic, another former Fiorentina player: "I feel great with him on the pitch and he's a friend out, I can't wait to play with him to give him balls to score."
Chiesa could wear the number 10 shirt, vacated by Dybala.
"Everyone likes the 10, Juventus wore it champions. In July you will know the number", he specified.
His desire for redemption is the same as that of Juventus, fresh from two fourth places in the league: "The last one - said Chiesa - was an exciting championship. We were penalized by the start, the match against Inter was a watershed Next year it will be even more difficult, we must return to the Juve mentality and have a lot more wickedness to be competitive on all fronts in March.
As for me - added Chiesa - I feel good as a winger, as I played in the national team and with Juve.
The coach had to adapt to me, but Allegri knows where I perform best. "
