Lichtsteiner thankful for support after heart surgery
The Switzerland international had surgery to correct a breathing problem after the Frosinone match and has thanked fans and supporters.
Stephan Lichtsteiner went on social media to express his gratitude for the support he has received after the Juventus fullback underwent heart surgery.
Lichtsteiner had corrective surgery Friday, having complained of breathing difficulties during Juve's 1-1 draw with Serie A newcomers Frosinone on Sept. 23.
The 31-year-old Switzerland international faces up to a month on the sidelines, despite a six-month time frame being suggested, and he used Facebook and Instagram accounts to thank fans for their well wishes.
