Juventus have officially confirmed that Randal Kolo Muani underwent successful surgery on Monday at the J-Medical centre following a fracture sustained during Sunday’s 2-0 victory over Atalanta at the Allianz Stadium.
The Official Diagnosis — Proximal Phalanx Fracture
The club’s medical communication confirms that Kolo Muani was diagnosed with a fracture of the proximal phalanx of his hand — the specific injury requiring an osteosynthesis surgical procedure, performed at the J-Medical on Monday 21 September by Dr De Loris Pegoli. The surgery was entirely successful.
The most immediately reassuring element of the bulletin concerns the recovery timeline. Kolo Muani can resume training within a couple of days of the procedure — meaning he will be available to work through the three-week international break with no significant interruption to his fitness programme. Barring complications, he is expected to be fully available for Luciano Spalletti when the squad reconvenes ahead of the Serie A return at Cagliari on 11 October.
Six Competitive Appearances — One Goal, Two Assists, and a Season Defined by Injury and Patience
Football Italia’s accompanying statistical context places Kolo Muani’s season in its clearest light so far. In six competitive appearances for Juventus — the permanent, post-PSG chapter of his relationship with the club — he has scored once and contributed two assists. The goal came on Wednesday in the Europa League against NEC Nijmegen; the assists include the lay-off for Bremer’s winner against Atalanta on Sunday. It is not the goal return a €38 million permanent investment demands — but the trajectory, post-Sassuolo, has been unmistakably positive.
The hand fracture adds his name to an absentee list that already includes Locatelli, Yıldız, Thuram, Cabal, Cambiaso, Grabara, Boga, and Ekhator. The difference, in Kolo Muani’s case, is that the surgery is minor, the recovery swift, and the international break provides the exact window needed to complete it without missing a single competitive fixture. The fifth operation since 31 August is, at least on this occasion, one the squad can absorb without panic.
