"Chiellini underwent a medical check-up on Tuesday after reporting a niggling injury to the flexor muscles in his right thigh, which caused him to withdraw from Italy's international friendlies yesterday," Juventus said in a statement.
"The tests revealed that Chiellini's injury, while not serious, will require daily monitoring. The defender has started undergoing physiotherapy and his condition will be re-evaluated next week."
Juventus will hope Cheillini to regain full fitness before their crunch Champions League quarter-final first leg against Real Madrid on April 3. Juventus will also face a tough Serie A clash against AC Milan on March 31.
