Juventus Confirm Successful Knee Surgery for Federico Gatti

Overview

• Juventus said Gatti underwent a selective arthroscopic meniscectomy on the medial meniscus of his right knee in Nantes, performed by Dr Bertrand Sonnery-Cottet and Dr Loïc Geoffroy, and immediately started rehab.
• Gatti left Tuesday’s Coppa Italia win over Udinese with what first appeared to be a hamstring issue before scans confirmed a right-knee meniscus tear.
• The club has not provided a return date, and Italian outlets report he is expected to be out for at least a month pending his response to rehabilitation.
• With Gleison Bremer and Daniele Rugani sidelined, reports indicate Pierre Kalulu and Lloyd Kelly are the senior options for Napoli, with Teun Koopmeiners or Juan Cabal considered or a switch to a back four.
• Gatti, 27, has made 14 appearances across competitions this season and scored twice, as Juventus prepare for Sunday’s match at the Stadio Maradona.
