Bernardeschi needs surgery?

By Football Italia staff

Juventus forward Federico Bernardeschi could reportedly require surgery, keeping him out for the rest of the season.

The Italian international suffered a knee injury in the Derby della Mole win over Torino, and will be out for at least three weeks.

Now Gazzetta dello Sport is reporting that if further scans in 21 days are not encouraging, Bernardeschi will undergo surgery which would keep him out for the rest of the season.

Gonzalo Higuain was also injured in the derby, but it’s thought he could return from an ankle knock for this Wednesday’s Coppa Italia semi-final second leg with Atalanta.

However, Juan Cuadrado is expected to be out until after the March international break, while Mattia De Sciglio faces 15-20 days out with a thigh problem.
