Sept 23 : Juventus keeper Kamil Grabara has undergone knee surgery after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament during training, the 27-year-old announced on social media on Wednesday.

Grabara is set to miss Poland's Nations League group stage matches against Bosnia and Herzegovina, with media reports saying the keeper faces up to seven months on the sidelines.

"I’m not going to lie, this is not something I ever wanted to post, but life comes at you fast sometimes," Grabara wrote on Instagram, posting a picture of himself on a hospital bed.

After joining Juventus on loan from Wolfsburg in August, Grabara debuted for the Serie A side on Thursday, providing an assist and winning the player-of-the-match award in a 5-0 Europa League win over NEC Nijmegen.
