Juventus ended the season as league champions, with Chiellini capturing his record eighth Serie A title with the club.
However, after medical testing it was estimated he would only be out for ten days, initially thought to only miss the second leg of the semi-finals against Internazionale on 2 March and a Serie A match against on 6 March; he wouldn't be fit for the second round of 16 leg of the Champions League, and missed the match.
