Blow for Juventus as Giorgio Chiellini to miss showdown with Luis Suarez

Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini has been ruled out of tomorrow’s Champions League final against Barcelona with a calf injury.

The Italy international got hurt in Wednesday’s training session and underwent tests yesterday which confirmed he will miss the Berlin showpiece.

The veteran centre-back was set for a dramatic showdown with Luis Suarez after the biting incident at last summer’s World Cup, but instead he leaves a big hole to fill in Juve’s defence.
