Federico Chiesa’s performance at Juventus has been lacking in recent months, raising concerns about his position within the Italian national squad ahead of the European Championship. Despite his initial strong start to the season with four goals in the first five games, the 26-year-old winger has struggled to maintain consistency due to ongoing minor injuries and fitness issues.
Since late September, Chiesa has only managed to score twice across all competitions, culminating in a lackluster performance that led to him being booed by Juventus fans during a recent match against Frosinone. With 18 months remaining on his contract with the Turin club, pressure continues to mount on Chiesa to improve his form.
According to reports in today’s edition of Gazzetta dello Sport, Luciano Spalletti is in the process of assembling his Italy squad for the upcoming European Championship, potentially considering a 3-4-2-1 formation. Chiesa faces the risk of being excluded from the squad due to his persistent struggles with form and fitness.
With three months remaining before the tournament kicks off in Germany, Chiesa has a limited timeframe to convince Spalletti of his worth and secure his place in the squad. His focus now lies on turning his fortunes around at Juventus to bolster his chances of representing Italy and aiding in their title defense.
