Giorgio Chiellini JuventusGiorgio Chiellini has rejoined his Juventus teammates in training this morning, after three weeks on the sidelines.

The 31-year-old defender was reduced to a limited pre-season after injuring his thigh in the Bianconeri’s friendly match against Polish side Lechia Gdansk.

The injury occurred on July 29, and forced Chiellini to miss 20 days of action, including his team’s Supercoppa Italiana win over Lazio.

Juventus, through their official website, announced that Chiellini had returned to the side after completing training this morning.

Claudio Marchisio however, did not take part in the morning session after also suffering an injury to his right thigh.

Chiellini is expected to make a return this week in Juventus’ season opener, while Marchisio is likely to miss three weeks.

The Old Lady kick their campaign off against Udinese on Sunday night.
