Kenan Yildiz and Juventus
28 August 2026
Juventus director Giorgio Chiellini has confirmed Kenan Yildiz will undergo surgery and miss several months with his injury. Chiellini said the problem does not involve a cruciate ligament or tendon and expects the forward to return fully recovered.
The confirmation provides a firmer medical outcome after earlier uncertainty around surgery and recovery time. Juventus will now face a prolonged spell without Yildiz, creating opportunities for other attackers while the club continues making late transfer-window adjustments.
