Yildiz successfully operated after left foot fracture

Juventus has confirmed that Kenan Yildiz has undergone successful surgery after suffering a fracture at the base of the left foot fifth metatarsal. The Turkish forward was forced off injured in the opening matchday of Serie A against Frosinone.

As reported in a medical statement released this Monday, the club said the operation went well and the recovery plan is already in motion. Juventus added that he will begin his rehabilitation tomorrow, though he is expected to miss several weeks.

Early-season problem for Juve

The injury hits at a key moment in the season’s early rhythm, and Yildiz’s absence could force changes within Juventus’s attacking options. No exact return date has been provided, but the timeframe communicated by the club points clearly to a multi-week spell out.

Juventus also shared an update on Jeff Ekhator. The player picked up a knock during training on Sunday, suffering a medium tear in the right thigh. The club said he will undergo additional tests to determine how long he’ll be sidelined.

With these setbacks, Juventus travel into their Serie A clash this Sunday at 20:45 against AC Milan, aiming to extend their momentum and secure a third consecutive league win.
