Juventus loses Arthur for three months
Juventus has confirmed that midfielder Arthur will miss the start of the Serie A season after undergoing successful knee surgery.
The Brazil international is set to be sidelined for the opening few weeks of Juve’s quest to wrestle back the Scudetto from Inter Milan, which begins away at Udinese on 23 August (AEST).
After his switch from Barcelona in June 2020 – a deal that saw Miralem Pjanic head in the opposite direction – Arthur played 32 times in all competitions during his debut season with the Bianconeri.
The central midfielder scored his first goal for the club in a 2-0 win over Bologna in January.
