Juventus' Joao Cancelo Underwent Knee Surgery, Won't Return Until 2019

Juventus will be without star full-back Joao Cancelo for the rest of 2018 after the former Valencia and Inter Milan man underwent surgery to repair a meniscus injury.

Manager Massimiliano Allegri said the trickster will be sidelined until after the winter break, meaning he'll miss both the Derby della Mole match against Torino and vital Serie A contests against AS Roma, Atalanta and Sampdoria:
