Juventus goalkeeper Kamil Grabara has undergone surgery

Juventus goalkeeper Kamil Grabara has undergone surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament suffered during training, the 27‑year‑old confirmed on social media on Wednesday. Grabara, who joined the club on loan from Wolfsburg in August, is expected to miss Poland’s Nations League group matches against Bosnia and Herzegovina, with local reports suggesting a recovery period of up to seven months. The injury came just days after his impressive debut, when he delivered an assist and earned player‑of‑the‑match honours in a 5‑0 Europa League win over NEC Nijmegen.

Grabara said the setback was difficult to accept, posting a photo from his hospital bed. Tests revealed the ACL tear after he felt discomfort in his right knee during Saturday’s session. Italian media report Juventus are close to signing 37‑year‑old Brazilian Neto, who previously played for the club between 2015 and 2017, to provide cover during Grabara’s lengthy absence.
