Juventus midfielder Sami Khedira will be unavailable for three months after he underwent surgery on his left knee.
The club released a statement confirming the 32-year-old travelled to Augsburg, Germany, to undergo an "arthroscopic cleaning," and he isn't likely to return until February or March.
Sky Sports said Khedira underwent a similar operation on his right knee in April, a procedure that sidelined him for 10 weeks.
Khedira has established himself as a regular under Maurizio Sarri and made 17 appearances in all competitions to already match his total from an injury-hit 2018-19 campaign.
