Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini is in doubt for the crunch match against Inter after having nasal surgery on Monday morning.
The stopper broke his nose during the 2-0 loss to Cagliari on Sunday after clashing with Nene. Juve have confirmed the surgery has been a success, and, although he has been cleared to train later this week, it is unclear as to whether he will be able to play against the champions.
A statement on the club's official website reads:
"Giorgio Chiellini underwent surgery this morning to reduce the fracture of his nasal bones. The operation was carried out by Professor Libero Tubino and the Chivasso hospital.
"The surgery was a perfect success and Chiellini will be discharged later today. He will be able to train with a protective mask on Wednesday and Thursday."
Juve are eight points behind the Nerazzurri. A loss in the derby d'Italia could see Scudetto hopes dashed for the season.
