Torino face Schuurs setback, potential second surgery alters recovery timeline and market strategy
Agony without end for Perr Schuurs, the former Ajax player is at risk of a new surgery, here are the recovery times and how Torino’s transfer market changes.
Perr Schuurs still does not see the light at the end of the tunnel.
In less than three months, it will have been exactly one year since the Torino defender last played on the field.
The persistent injury has impeded his recovery, leading to concerns that another operation may be necessary.
“Unfortunately, Perr is not progressing as we had hoped,” a Torino medical team representative told Sky Sports Italia. “Surgery might be unavoidable for him at this point.”
The timeline for his return remains uncertain, casting further doubt on Torino’s squad plans.
Manager Ivan Jurić may have to look for reinforcements to strengthen the defence for the upcoming season.
“This situation definitely affects our transfer strategy,” a club insider revealed to La Gazzetta dello Sport. “We need to find reliable players who can fill the gap left by Schuurs.”
As the January transfer window approaches, Torino is expected to be active in the market, searching for defensive options.
Schuurs, who had shown great promise since joining Torino, now faces an extended period on the sidelines.
Supporters are hopeful the club makes the right moves to ensure stability at the back.
Fans will need to keep a close eye on the developments as the transfer window opens, eager to see how Torino responds to this latest challenge.
