Juventus defender Matthijs de Ligt could require surgery on a shoulder injury that has been hampering his debut season in Serie A.

The issue started towards the end of last year in their game against Atalanta, when the Dutchman dislocated his left shoulder after an innocuous fall.

The injury has failed to heal properly and according to Corriere di Torino was causing De Ligt an issue during Juve’s 3-3 draw with Sassuolo earlier this week.

And now that same paper claims that the centre-back could go under the knife to resolve the issue once and for all.

De Ligt will sit down with club doctors this week to decide a course of action, but if De Ligt does have an operation it could mean he misses the return of the Champions League in August.
