Kenan Yildiz struggles with chronic knee issue, surgery possible

Kenan Yildiz of Juventus and Turkiye is dealing with a chronic tendon problem that may require surgery. Reports indicate that the condition worsened during his World Cup appearances, where he played under heavy strapping and painkillers. The forward had been expected to be a key figure for Juventus after receiving a new contract and the team’s iconic number 10 jersey. IF conservative treatments do not resolve the issue, Juventus may opt for surgery this summer. Yildiz is currently resting and expected back for pre-season training on July 20.
