Surgery: Juventus face the risk of losing their star for a lengthy period

Early blow for Juventus

Juventus suffered a heavy blow during their away match against Frosinone yesterday, Sunday, even as the Bianconeri claimed a valuable 1-0 win in the first round of the Italian league.

According to the newspaper "La Gazzetta dello Sport", Turkish star Kenan Yildiz picked up an injury that forced him off in the 69th minute, with Jeremy Boga coming on in his place.

Yildiz underwent medical examinations over the past hours, and they confirmed a problem in his left foot.

Those tests sparked serious concern within Juventus. Surgery is not ruled out, and coach Luciano Spalletti faces the risk of losing one of his best players for two months.

Such an absence may push the Juventus management to move quickly before the end of the summer transfer window, and the pursuit of Manchester United striker Joshua Zirkzee could accelerate.
