There were worrying signs for Juventus fans during the closing stages of the match against Como as Kenan Yildiz was substituted after 80 minutes, prompting questions about his condition. The young number 10 left the pitch to applause but, according to DAZN, he appeared to be struggling in the final moments before being replaced.
Ice on the Left Calf
Yildiz had been experiencing some discomfort in his left calf, reportedly the result of a knock picked up in a challenge. He had looked fatigued for several minutes, and when he came off, he immediately applied an ice pack to the affected area while seated on the bench. The issue appears to be minor, but further checks will be carried out to confirm the full extent of the problem.
Spalletti’s Update
Speaking after the match, Juventus coach Luciano Spalletti provided reassurance regarding the player’s condition. “Yildiz took a knock, then he put ice on it, and we’ll see how he is,” Spalletti explained. “But this says a lot about his character — he wanted to keep playing, like the true champion he is.”
Early indications suggest there are no muscle injuries for Yildiz, only the effects of an impact. Juventus will continue to monitor his condition ahead of the next fixture.
