An operation to repair Juventus
striker Marko Pjaca's right anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) was
a success Friday and he will be out for six months, Juve said.
Pjaca, 21, snapped his ACL during Croatia's 3-0 defeat in a
friendly in Estonia Tuesday night.
Pjaca was stretchered off halfway through Croatia's upset
loss.
Teammate Claudio Marchisio tweeted: "Marko, all our thoughts
are with you! Chin up. You'll make a great comeback and show all
your talent!".
The winger began his professional career in Croatia with
Lokomotiva in 2012, before moving to Dinamo Zagreb in 2014 and
joining Italian champions Juve at the start of this season.
He has turned out 14 times for the Bianconeri this term.
