(Reuters) - Juventus winger Marko Pjaca has been ruled out for six months after undergoing surgery on his right knee which he injured while on international duty with Croatia this week, the Italian champions said on Friday.

Pjaca, who missed 16 games for Juventus due to another knee injury sustained in October, returned to action in January and was forced off with a knee ligament tear after 65 minutes of Croatia's 3-0 loss to Estonia during a friendly on Tuesday.
