Khephren Thuram faces extended absence from Juventus following upcoming surgery

Juventus midfielder Khephren Thuram is scheduled to undergo surgery following an unresolved injury issue that persisted since the end of last season. The club initially attempted a natural recovery process for the player, but the medical staff determined an operation is now necessary. Giovanni Carnevali confirmed that Thuram faces a longer recovery period than teammate Kenan Yildiz, who also required surgery following the opening league match against Frosinone. With the procedure, the Frenchman is expected to remain sidelined through the end of 2026. Juventus currently looks to manage the roster as both players begin their respective rehabilitation timelines. The club intends for these surgeries to provide long-term solutions for both athletes.
