Khéphren Thuram faces medical consultation for knee injury

Juventus midfielder Khéphren Thuram is facing a setback due to ongoing knee issues. The French player has been struggling with patellofemoral pain syndrome since last spring, which caused him to miss his entire summer preparation and the upcoming match against Parma.

Coach Luciano Spalletti expressed significant concern regarding the player's condition. To determine the best course of action, Thuram will travel to Lyon for a consultation with specialist Bertrand Sonnery Cottet. The medical evaluation will decide whether the player can continue with conservative therapy or if surgical intervention is required, the latter of which would result in a longer period of absence.

The injury situation may influence Juventus's transfer market activities. The club's management, already looking for midfield reinforcements, may accelerate operations in the final days of the summer session depending on the medical outcome.
