Juventus midfielder Khephren Thuram prepares for surgery

Juventus midfielder Khephren Thuram is set to undergo surgery to address a lingering injury sustained during the final weeks of last season. Although the club initially attempted a natural recovery process, the lack of progress has forced a change in medical strategy. Thuram follows teammate Kenan Yildiz as the second Juventus player to require an operation early in the season. The club has expressed frustration regarding the recovery timeline and intends to use the surgery to ensure the midfielder can return to full fitness for the remainder of the campaign. The Bianconeri currently face a wider injury crisis that has limited the availability of several key squad members during the opening weeks of the season.
