Kenan Yildiz has suffered a serious injury at Juventus and could be out of action for more than two months, leaving Juve cursing their luck. He missed the final matches of last season due to a niggling problem and only played some part in Turkiye’s campaign during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Juve had been hopeful that he would return to their first team as fit as a fiddle, and he was given more time off before resuming pre-season. However, just one game into the league season, he is injured again for the men in black and white, and the attacker will undergo surgery next week. That confirms he will be sidelined for some time, which is bad news for the men in black and white, who had planned the season with him as a protagonist. Yildiz faces lengthy spell out Juve have other top players, but when Yildiz is fit, there is no other player in the current squad who can get into the team ahead of him. His absence will therefore be a significant blow to Luciano Spalletti’s plans, particularly because the club had expected Yildiz to play an important role throughout the campaign. The attacker had already experienced fitness problems towards the end of last season, making his latest injury particularly frustrating for Juventus. Yildiz could miss 14 matches However, Yildiz will miss a significant number of matches, with Calciomercato revealing that he is set to miss as many as 14 matches. This includes the club’s first four Europa League matches, meaning Juventus will have to cope without one of their most important attacking players during a crucial period of the season. The setback leaves Juve needing to find alternative solutions while Yildiz recovers from his injury and prepares for his eventual return. Despite the disappointment surrounding his absence, the club will hope the attacker can make a full recovery following surgery and return to the team in good condition. When Yildiz eventually returns, he is expected to play a key role in Juventus’ success. His quality and importance to the squad mean his return will be eagerly anticipated by the club and its supporters.
