An orthopaedic surgeon claims Juventus striker Gonzalo Higuain is facing “2-3 weeks out” as a result of his imminent hand surgery.
Higuain’s operation comes at a difficult time as Juve travel to Scudetto rivals Napoli on Friday, but Matteo Vitali warned the striker could also miss the Bianconeri’s similarly-crucial clash with Inter early next month.
“Recovery times will be around 2-3 weeks,” he told Premium Sport.

“Recovery times will be around 2-3 weeks,” he told Premium Sport.
“Could the operation have been put off? Pain affects performance and a fall on the fracture could turn this injury into something even more serious.
“The stance of preserving the player, I believe, is dictated by these assessments.”
