"Juventus" confirmed that club defender Stephan Lichtsteiner underwent surgery due to heart problems.
The Swiss complained of breathing difficulties during the match against "Frosinone" on September 23 and was replaced ahead of time.
The footballer was diagnosed with arrhythmia, which led doctors to advise him to lie on the operating table.
In the statement of the last season's "Serie A" champions, it is also mentioned that Lichtsteiner should return to the field after a month.
This loss should hit "Juve" hard, as Massimiliano Allegri's team has already had a poor start to the season and is currently ranked only fifteenth in the Italian championship.
