Juventus' Kenan Yildiz to have foot surgery, miss months

He fractured the fifth metatarsal in his left foot.

Wire Report IntelligenceUpdated Aug 281 min read

What happened: Yildiz sustained the injury against Frosinone, with the operation planned for early next week. Giorgio Chiellini said the injury is not expected to jeopardize his long-term future.

Why it matters: The absence will cost Juventus its No. 10 through September and October. His anticipated return after November's international break would make him unavailable for at least four Europa League matchdays.

By the numbers: Sky Sport estimates a recovery period of two and a half to three months. Juventus plays three Europa League dates by Oct. 22 and a fourth on Nov. 5.

What to watch: Medical updates will follow the procedure. His rehabilitation will determine whether a return after the November break remains viable.
