Spalletti gives Chiesa one requirement for Italy national team return

Federico Chiesa has been out of action for Juventus since January due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury.

The winger is now back in training and is hoping to make his return to the Italy national team for the upcoming Nations League matches. Chiesa played.

Spalletti has stated that Chiesa must be playing for his club and fit enough to start for Italy.

The issue is that he has not played a game since January.

He has made seven appearances in all competitions for Juventus this season, scoring three goals and assisting Juventus to a 1-0 win over Spezia. Chiesa is still working his way back to full fitness, and it is unclear when he will be ready to start for Italy.

Chiesa is a key player for Italy, and his return would be a major boost for the team.

The Azzurri are preparing for the Nations League matches against England, Hungary, and Germany.
