Juventus Women striker Chiara Beccari suffers torn ACL in left knee
In what has mostly been a season to forget for the Bianconere, one of their biggest attacking pieces is now going to be out for quite a while.

The Bianconere sit in a very unfamiliar third place and a whopping 14 points behind that same Roma team that beat them on Saturday, with a spot in the Women’s Champions League qualifying rounds looking anything but certain at this point.
It turns out the result was not the only loss they’re having to deal with. The club have announced that young striker Chiara Beccari has suffered a season-ending torn ACL in her left knee after having to come off less than 20 minutes into the loss to Roma. It’s the latest hit to an attacking group that has seen plenty of talent leave for a variety of reasons — namely Sofia Cantore and Cristiana Girelli heading to the NWSL in the United States over the last 12 months.
But now they’re about to be without one of their best young players in the form of the 21-year-old Beccari for the better part of the next 12 months — which could very well suddenly change any sort of summer upgrades that the club may have if they are to (hopefully) finish in the top three and get into the UWCL qualifying rounds. Beccari injured her knee early in Saturday’s loss during a challenge with former teammate Valentina Bergamaschi, who moved to Roma in the summer of 2025 after a season in Turin. Juventus posted this brief update after Beccari underwent scans at J Medical on Tuesday: Following an injury to her left knee sustained during the Juventus Women’s First Team’s recent Serie A Women match against Roma, Chiara Beccari underwent diagnostic tests at J|Medical.
Those tests revealed a tear in her anterior cruciate ligament. Chiara will undergo surgery in the coming days to reconstruct her ACL. Beccari, in her second season back at Juventus after highly impressive 2023-24 season on loan at Sassuolo, was tied with Girelli for the team lead in goals with four at the time of her injury.
