Juventus has received bad news as star player Kenan Yildiz faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines. The 22-year-old Turkish international injured his left foot during the team's opening Serie A match against Frosinone, which Juventus won 1-0.

Subsequent medical examinations revealed that Yildiz requires surgery to address the injury. Italian media reports indicate that he will be out of action until at least November or December, a significant absence for the Turin club. This setback will prevent him from participating in upcoming matches, including Juventus's campaign in the Europa League.

Yildiz has been an integral part of the Juventus first team since 2023, progressing through the club's youth academy. He has made 132 appearances across all competitions, scoring 27 goals and providing 21 assists. The Turkish national team player has also represented his country 31 times, scoring five goals. His absence will undoubtedly be felt by both Juventus and the Turkish national team.
