Juventus can breathe a sigh of relief regarding Kenan Yildiz. The Turkish forward, who was forced off at half-time during the 4–1 win over Parma, is not suffering from a serious injury. After undergoing only light recovery treatment this morning at Continassa, the 19-year-old’s condition is being monitored but is not considered worrying.
IlBianconero report that there had been some concern among the Bianconeri staff following comments from Italy boss Luciano Spalletti after the match, when he mentioned that Yildiz was feeling discomfort in his adductor. However, the absence of further medical tests at JMedical confirms it is merely a case of fatigue rather than a significant strain.
Recovery Plan and Return Date
Yildiz is expected to miss the upcoming Coppa Italia tie against Atalanta on Thursday as a precaution. His involvement will be reassessed ahead of the Serie A clash with Lazio, scheduled for Sunday, 8 February, at the Allianz Stadium. The main objective for the young attacker — who has already made 31 appearances and scored nine goals this season — is to be back at full fitness in time for the high-profile encounter with Inter.
In the meantime, Juventus have already moved to strengthen their attack, completing the signing of Jeremie Boga to help manage minutes and ensure Yildiz has the necessary time to recover fully.
