Juventus paid the price for their victory over Atalanta with another injury. Randal Kolo Muani suffered a fractured finger on his hand during the match in Turin, which led to him undergoing surgery on Monday. The French striker sustained the injury in the first half of the match, but remained on the pitch and helped the Bianconeri secure an important 2-0 victory.
KOLO MUANI PLAYED DESPITE THE FRACTURE
Despite the injury, Kolo Muani continued the match against Atalanta. The Frenchman showed great commitment and played an important role in Juventus’ victory, although he failed to get on the scoresheet. Subsequent examinations revealed that he had suffered a fractured finger on his hand and that surgery was necessary. The surgical procedure was performed the day after the match.
SURGERY SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED
According to information from Italian media, Kolo Muani underwent surgery and will now begin his recovery period. An exact date for his return has not yet been officially announced, but initial assessments indicate that his absence should not be long. With the international break coming up, Juventus will hope that the Frenchman will not miss many club matches.
THE AIM IS A RETURN AGAINST CAGLIARI
According to initial assessments, Kolo Muani could be available to Luciano Spalletti again for the away match against Cagliari, scheduled for October 11. However, his appearance in Sardinia has not yet been confirmed. The final decision will depend on the course of his recovery and the results of his upcoming medical examinations.
ANOTHER CONCERN FOR SPALLETTI
Kolo Muani’s injury represents another squad complication for Juventus’ coaching staff. The French striker is still waiting for his first Serie A goal of the new season, but he delivered a very good performance against Atalanta and showed how important he can be to the Bianconeri’s style of play. Spalletti will hope that the surgery will not have any serious consequences and that Kolo Muani will be able to resume training after the international break and continue his fight for a place in the starting lineup.
JUVENTUS HAVE NOT YET ANNOUNCED A RECOVERY TIMELINE
It has been confirmed that Kolo Muani suffered a fracture and underwent surgery, while the assessment regarding a potential return against Cagliari is not yet official. Juventus will closely monitor his condition in the coming period, with more information expected after his first follow-up examinations.
