Kenan Yildiz is set for a few months on the sidelines after requiring surgery, according to Juventus veteran Giorgio Chiellini. While the absence is a significant blow, Chiellini clarified that the injury does not involve the cruciate ligaments or tendons and is not expected to have long-term implications for the player's career.
The situation is clear, then there will be the medical bulletins. He will have to undergo surgery and will be out for a few months, but it is not an injury that rules anything out for his career, it is not a cruciate or a tendon. He will return at 100%. Giorgio Chiellini
Discussing the broader landscape of the league, Chiellini acknowledged the current dominance of Inter Milan but highlighted the improvements made to his own side. After recent seasons that saw the club fail to qualify for the Champions League, he noted that the team has successfully added the personality and solidity that were previously missing.
Looking ahead to the final days of the market, Chiellini suggested that further movement is possible. He emphasized that the current squad is deeper and more balanced, and while the loss of Yildiz is unfortunate, it presents a chance for other players in the rotation to step up and make their mark.
