Juventus defender Merih Demiral will undergo surgery after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury at the weekend, the Serie A champions announced on Monday, with the Turkish international’s Euro 2020 participation now at risk.
Demiral scored in the third minute of the 2-1 win over Roma at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday before limping off quarter of an hour later. The 21-year-old fell back on his left leg after jumping for a header.
“Demiral sustained a sprain to his left knee,” Juventus said in a statement.
