The Turk was injured in his season debut against Frosinone and could miss about ten games. Spalletti’s championship starts uphill…
Juventus loses Kenan Yildiz for the first part of the season. How long the Turkish playmaker’s absence will be will depend on the final diagnosis of the foot injury suffered during the season debut match in Frosinone, won by the Bianconeri with a goal from Bremer. Yildiz risks being out of action for at least two months, especially if he has to undergo surgery to resolve the physical problem that has emerged. If confirmed, it would mean missing around ten matches between the championship and the Europa League as well as not being available for Turkey’s Nations League commitments including the match against Roberto Mancini’s Italy.
The problem with his left foot emerged in the hours following the end of the Benito Stirpe match. Yildiz visited JMedical and the verdict worried the Juventus club quite a bit, also because Spalletti is laboriously trying to build the offensive hierarchies of the season that has just begun and the Turk represents the most important technical investment. In recent weeks, rumors had also circulated about his possible big transfer, but the coach himself had made clear his desire not to do without the talent of the number ten and to base the attacking department on him.
In the list of matches that Yildiz will be forced to miss there are also some very important matches in terms of qualifying for the Champions League such as the one against Milan at the beginning of September or the match against Allegri’s Napoli. Here is the calendar that awaits Juventus in the autumn, thinking only of the championship: Parma, Milan, Sassuolo, Atalanta, Cagliari, Lazio, Lecce, Genoa, Naples and Fiorentina.
