Juventus have confirmed that Sami Khedira will be out of action for 'approximately one month' having undergone treatment on a heart problem.
Khedira was a late withdrawal from the squad to face Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on Wednesday night after a routine test detected an irregular heartbeat.
The Italian champions have confirmed, via a statement, that the Germany international has undergone treatment which will keep him out of action until the latter stages of March.
"Today in the morning the player Sami Khedira underwent electrophysiological study and successful interventional therapy with ablation of an arrhythmogenic atrial focus, performed by Prof. Fiorenzo Gaita, JM cardiologist consultant for Juventus," read a statement from Juventus.
"After a short period of convalescence the player will be able to resume his activity approximately within one month."
Khedira, who has struggled with a number of injuries during the 2018-19 campaign, has scored twice in 15 appearances for Juve this season.
