Juventus midfielder Khéphren Thuram has been struggling with patellofemoral pain syndrome since the spring, causing him to miss summer preparations and early season matches.

Initially, the player attempted conservative therapy to avoid time away from the pitch. However, following a specialist consultation in Lyon, medical assessments indicated that previous treatments failed to yield desired results. As a consequence, surgery was viewed as the “only definitive solution” to provide long-term stability.

Thuram has since undergone successful arthroscopic chondroplasty surgery on his right knee at the Hôpital Privé Jean Mermoz in Lyon. While the procedure was successful, the midfielder is expected to remain sidelined for several months. Recent reports indicate that his recovery timeline may extend as late as early 2027.
