Report - Another Juventus player undergoes surgery

Randal Kolo Muani fractured a finger on his right hand against Atalanta at the weekend and has now undergone surgery to correct the problem and begin his recovery.

Juve have been plagued by injuries to key players since the start of this season and will be without Manuel Locatelli and Khephren Thuram for the rest of 2026. Their fans would therefore have been concerned to learn that Kolo Muani was scheduled for surgery at the J Medical Centre.

However, it has turned out to be a minor issue that the club chose to address as quickly as possible to prevent it from becoming a bigger problem for the striker.

Kolo Muani begins recovery

Fortunately for him and the Bianconeri, there is a break from club football over the next few weeks, giving him time to make a full recovery before Juventus have to play again.

The timing of the injury means Kolo Muani has an opportunity to focus on his rehabilitation before returning to action. Juventus will also hope that the striker can use the break to recover fully and prepare for the remainder of the campaign.

It is not a major surgery, but Tuttomercatoweb reports that it was successful and the fracture has now been fixed. Juve will therefore do their best to ensure the striker is fit again as soon as possible.

Striker focused on return

Kolo Muani has faced scrutiny over his lack of goals, and he will likely train hard during the break to prepare himself for the rest of the season. His focus will now be on recovering from the injury and returning to the pitch.

The striker will also have an opportunity to work on his fitness during the break, while Juventus will hope that his return provides another attacking option for the team.
