Mostly backup during playoff run Chiellini made 13 appearances (10 starts) for LAFC this season after joining the club from Juventus in the summer.
Impact Chiellini was in and out of the XI in LAFC, rotating with Jesus Murillo, Eddie Segura, Mamadou Fall and Sebastien Ibeagha in central defense. The 38-year-old recorded and assist against Dallas in September, but he only played 45 minutes in the playoffs as LAFC won a first ever MLS Cup, so it's likely he continues this rotating role in 2023 rather than becoming a locked-in consistent starter.

Uncertain yet again Chiellini (rest) is questionable for Saturday's trip to San Jose, according to the LAFC injury report.
Impact Chiellini is on the injury report once more listed as questionable for load management yet again. The defender was a nailed-on starter before this three-match run of rest, so if he is good to go he should be a starter once more. Eddie Segura took his place last time out against Charlotte.

Could be rested Tuesday Chiellini is listed as questionable in LAFC's injury report for Tuesday's clash against D.C. United due to load management.
