Juventus have suffered a major setback at a crucial stage of the new season, with star attacker Kenan Yildiz facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
The Turkish international sustained a fracture to the fifth metatarsal in his left foot during Juventus’ opening Serie A match against Frosinone. After further medical assessments, surgery has been recommended, with his recovery now expected to keep him out for around three months.
- The timing is particularly frustrating for Juventus, as Yildiz has become one of the most important attacking players in the squad. His creativity, pace and ability to produce decisive moments have made him a key part of Luciano Spalletti’s plans.
With Yildiz unavailable, Juventus will have to find another solution on the left side of their attack. Youngster Kerim Alajbegovic is among those expected to receive greater responsibility as the Bianconeri navigate a difficult period without their No.10.
