Kenan Yıldız, one of the standout players for Juventus and the Turkish National Team, will be sidelined for a while due to a calf injury sustained during training on Thursday. Following medical examinations, it has been confirmed that the young footballer will not be on the pitch for Juventus' final match of the season against Torino.
Head coach Luciano Spalletti was shaken by the bad news regarding Kenan ahead of this match, which is crucial for Champions League qualification. For Juventus to secure a spot in the Champions League, they must win their away game against Torino and at least two of the teams Milan, Roma, or Como must drop points.
Kenan Yıldız's performance throughout the season has been noteworthy. The national player scored his last goal against Sassuolo at the end of March, finishing the season with 11 goals.
National Team Head Coach Vincenzo Montella hopes for his player's swift recovery ahead of the 2026 World Cup to be held in America. The Crescent-Stars, continuing their preparations, will face their first test in the tournament against Australia on June 14. Whether Kenan Yıldız will be able to participate in this match remains uncertain.
