Juventus goalkeeper Kamil Grabara has sustained an anterior cruciate ligament tear in his right knee, sustained during Saturday’s training session, leaving Luciano Spalletti with an immediate goalkeeping concern.
The Polish goalkeeper underwent diagnostic tests at J|medical following the incident, with the club confirming the extent of the injury. Further orthopaedic consultations will now determine his treatment plan, though no recovery timetable has been established.
Grabara had only just made his Juventus debut, starting Thursday’s Europa League victory over NEC Nijmegen. His absence adds another layer to Juventus’ goalkeeping situation as the club assesses its options heading into the weekend fixture against Atalanta.
According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Juventus could now explore the free-agent market for a replacement. Sergio Rico and Neto are named as potential options under consideration by the club.
Grabara’s arrival in Turin was part of a broader reshuffle of Juventus’ goalkeeping plans, with the club having also moved for Guglielmo Vicario in the same window. The full detail of that structure, and how Grabara’s injury affects it, remains to be clarified by the club.
Juventus’ reported medical update states that diagnostic tests revealed an anterior cruciate ligament injury to Grabara’s right knee following the training-ground trauma. The club added that the player would undergo further orthopaedic consultations in the coming days to define the therapeutic pathway.
No surgery date, recovery duration, or return timeline has been confirmed at this stage. Juventus are expected to weigh their goalkeeping options carefully as they navigate the coming fixtures without their newest addition between the posts.
