Randal Kolo Muani Undergoes Successful Hand Surgery

Juventus striker Randal Kolo Muani has undergone successful surgery on a hand fracture suffered in the 2-0 win over Atalanta, but the club expect him back in training within days.

The French forward picked up the injury during an accidental collision in the Serie A clash at the Allianz Stadium in Turin on Sunday night, a game that underlined his growing importance to Luciano Spalletti’s new-look attack. The impact left him with a fracture of the proximal phalanx in his hand, an issue that immediately required specialist attention.

The decision was made for Kolo Muani to go under the knife, and on Monday he was operated on at the J|medical centre, the facility embedded in Juventus’ Continassa complex. The procedure, an osteosynthesis surgery, was carried out by De Loris Pegoli and, according to the club, went according to plan.

The key detail for Juventus: the lay-off will be short. Kolo Muani is expected to resume training after just a couple of days, meaning Spalletti should have him available during the upcoming international break rather than facing a longer absence at a crucial stage of the early season.

Kolo Muani, who arrived from Paris Saint-Germain with high expectations, has started to stitch himself into Juventus’ attacking fabric, registering one goal and two assists in six competitive appearances so far. The numbers are modest, but the trajectory is clear — and now hinges on how quickly he can rediscover rhythm with a bandaged hand and a demanding fixture list waiting for him.
