Kenan Yıldız's return date takes shape: two Juventus matches in focus
Juventus's Kenan Yıldız, who was injured in the first week of the season and had surgery, is reported to have resumed work on the pitch. The aim is for the Türkiye international to return in mid-December, against Monza or Roma.
The countdown has begun to the return of Kenan Yıldız, who has been sidelined for a long spell through injury at Serie A club Juventus. The Türkiye international, who underwent surgery after the injury he suffered in the first week of the season, is reported to have reached an important stage in his rehabilitation. The aim is for the young player, who has resumed work on the pitch, to return to the squad in mid-December.
It is said that Kenan Yıldız, who has begun work aimed at regaining his physical fitness, will train individually at first, away from the rest of the squad, and that Juventus do not want to take any risks after a long-term injury.
According to the Italian press, the plan is for the Türkiye international to return to action in one of two matches, against Monza on 14 December or Roma on 19 December. Kenan Yıldız suffered a fracture of the fifth metatarsal in his left foot against Frosinone in the opening week of the season and underwent surgery in the German city of Augsburg on 31 August.
Kenan Yıldız himself spoke about his return at an award ceremony he attended in Bologna on 9 November, saying: "I feel good, I hope to be back playing soon." In the same remarks, the Türkiye international said: "Let's say you will see me back on the pitch in December."
