Kenan Yildiz faces surgery and long absence at Juventus
Juventus winger Kenan Yildiz is set to undergo surgery following a fifth metatarsal fracture in his left foot sustained during a match against Frosinone. The injury is expected to sideline the 21-year-old Turkish international for approximately two and a half to three months, potentially keeping him out of action until after the November international break.
Juventus official Giorgio Chiellini confirmed the situation, noting that while the injury is significant, it is not expected to impact Yildiz’s long-term career. In his absence, manager Luciano Spalletti is expected to rely on players such as Jeremie Boga and Kerim Alajbegovic to fill the void in the attacking lineup.
Separately, Arsenal has been identified as a major suitor for Yildiz. The Premier League club has long monitored the winger as a potential target to strengthen their attack. However, Juventus remains firm in their stance, with the player currently under contract until 2030, making any potential transfer difficult and expensive during the current window.
