AI summary
Juventus's injury crisis deepened on Tuesday when captain Manuel Locatelli underwent surgery on his right knee following a twist in the Milan match. Professor Bertrand Sonnery-Cottet repaired a torn outer meniscus; the midfielder is not expected back before 2027. Winger Jérémie Boga was also ruled out with a medium-grade hamstring injury to his left thigh.
With nine players now unavailable, Spalletti must rebuild his midfield around Douglas Luiz and Koopmeiners ahead of the Sassuolo trip. Locatelli and Thuram were the bedrock of last season's engine room.
