Overview

• Juventus confirmed that Perin underwent arthrodesis of the proximal interphalangeal joint on his right fifth finger to address post-traumatic osteoarthritis.
• The procedure was performed by Dr. Battiston and Dr. Ferrero under the supervision of club doctor Dr. Freschi and was declared a success.
• The 32-year-old is expected to be sidelined for approximately eight weeks, ruling him out of the upcoming Club World Cup in the United States.
• Juventus coach Igor Tudor will turn to backups Michele Di Gregorio and Carlo Pinsoglio for the tournament, with 19-year-old Next Gen keeper Daffara poised for promotion as a third option.
• Under contract through 2027, Perin has served as a veteran leader at Juventus and his absence creates a temporary void in experience among the club’s goalkeepers.
