Former Liverpool star Emre Can could face surgery, in doubt for Man Utd-Juve

Former Liverpool star Emre Can could face surgery, in doubt for Man Utd-Juve

On their official website, Juventus have announced that Emre Can is not ready to take the field, as further tests will need to be carried out on a thyroid nodule that has been discovered. 
 
"Emre Can will undergo clinical tests and investigations for a thyroid nodule that could also require surgical treatment," the statement read.
 
This means that the midfielder could miss the important clash with Manchester United on Tuesday, although this has not yet been confirmed by Juventus' press office. However, the Bianconeri's last game gives us a clue as to if he will play, as Emre Can didn't feature in the 1-1 draw. 
 
A thyroid nodule occurs in the thyroid gland and are often benign but can be malignant, hence why further tests will need to be carried out in order to secure that the nodule won't do him any harm.
