Merih Demiral suffered knee ligament damage in Juventus’ 2-1 victory over Roma in the Serie A on Sunday.
Demiral will have to undergo surgery on the anterior cruciate ligament he damaged in the game which he scored the opening goal.
The injury is set to rule him out of action for the rest of the season and he is likely to miss Euro 2020 for Turkey.
Several teammates including Cristiano Ronaldo and Turkey international defensive partner Caglar Soyuncu of Leicester City were along the names that took to social media to wish him a speedy recovery.
