Torino, latest on Schuurs’ injury and updated recovery timeline | OneFootball

Two years after the injury that changed his career, the Dutch defender’s recovery could be further prolonged.

Torino, the latest on Schuurs’ injury and new recovery timeline

The young defender, one of the brightest talents of the new Dutch generation, was signed by the Granata to make up for the departures of Bremer first and then Buongiorno. He has been sidelined since October 2023, when he suffered an anterior cruciate ligament rupture during a match against Inter.

At the height of his form and on the verge of establishing himself, he was stopped by a long layoff. After an initial surgery and a rehabilitation that initially seemed to be going well, in August 2024 he had to undergo surgery again, effectively missing preseason with the Granata and compromising the entire just-concluded season. Despite having been out for a long time and having a contract with the Piedmont club until 2026, in recent days there has been talk of a show of faith from the club and thus a possible one-year extension.

Current condition and recovery timeline

As of today, he is still training separately and some sources report that he is determined to return as soon as possible, but is struggling with persistent pain as his workload increases, something that is significantly slowing down his recovery. At the moment, the prospect of his return seems distant – early 2026 is being mentioned – although Torino hopes to have him back as soon as possible in order to count on the valuable contribution of the class of ’99 player, who was supposed to be a pillar of the present and future of the Granata.
