Juventus midfielder Arthur Melo out for three months after surgery
Juventus midfielder Artur Melo will miss the start of the season after undergoing surgery on his right leg, the Italian club announced on Friday.
The 24-year-old Brazilian, a former Barcelona player, had suffered in recent months with a problem with the membrane between the tibia and fibula of his right leg.
“The operation was successful. The recovery time is approximately three months,” Juventus said in a statement.
Juventus’s nine-year Serie A reign ended last season. They open the new campaign at Udinese with former coach Massimiliano Allegri back at the helm two years after leaving the club.
