Overview
- Radiological exams at J|Medical confirmed a medial meniscus lesion in Federico Gatti’s right knee, with surgery planned in the coming days; Tuttosport reports the operation could take place in Lyon as soon as this morning.
- Gatti exited the Coppa Italia match against Udinese in the second half after a non‑contact movement while tracking Buksa, and coach Luciano Spalletti said the player “felt a pop” in his knee.
- Media reporting indicates an expected layoff of roughly one month, effectively ending Gatti’s availability for the remainder of 2025.
- The setback strains Juventus’s central defensive depth for December, leaving Pierre Kalulu, Lloyd Kelly and the adapted Teun Koopmeiners as primary options, with youth player Pedro Felipe in reserve.
- Tuttosport reports that Gleison Bremer could return to group training next week and Daniele Rugani in about 10 days, potentially easing the shortage later this month.
