juventus goalkeeper Camille Grabara Luciano Spalletti faced immediate goalkeeping concerns after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during training on Saturday.
Following the incident, the Polish goalkeeper underwent diagnostic tests at J|medical and the club confirmed the extent of the injury. Further orthopedic consultation will now determine his treatment plan, but a recovery timetable has not yet been set.
Grabara just made his Juventus debut in Thursday’s Europa League win over NEC Nijmegen. His absence adds another layer to Juventus’ goalkeeping situation as the club evaluates its options for the weekend’s game against Atalanta.
DiMarzio names potential free agent targets
according to Gianluca Di MarzioJuventus can now explore the free agent market to find a replacement. Sergio Rico and Neto have been named as potential options being considered by the club.
Grabara’s arrival in Turin is part of a wider shake-up of Juventus’ goalkeeper plans, with the club also bringing in Guglielmo Vicario in the same window. Full details of that structure, and how Grabara’s injury affects it, are still to be clarified by the club.
Club statement confirms diagnosis
A medical update reported by Juventus states that diagnostic tests have shown that Grabara has injured the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee after sustaining the injury at the training ground. The club added that the player will undergo further orthopedic consultation in the coming days to determine the route of treatment.
No surgery date, recovery time or return timetable has been confirmed at this stage. Juventus are expected to weigh up their goalkeeper options carefully as they will be without their newest goalkeeper for the remainder of the campaign.
