Juventus limits playing time for Kerim Alajbegovic amid injury crisis
Summary

Juventus is restricting Kerim Alajbegovic's minutes despite Kenan Yildiz's long-term injury.

Reports indicate that he has been used in a less advanced position during recent matches, hindering his development. Juventus may need to reconsider their approach to maximize Alajbegovic's potential.
