Yildiz's injury, a fractured metatarsal in his left foot, has raised concerns in the Juventus camp, with some suggesting he may require surgery. However, the latest assessment suggests a recovery time of three months, ruling him out until late November. Despite this, Juventus are not expected to sign a direct replacement for Yildiz, with Kerim Alajbegovic and Jeremie Boga seen as potential options to deputise for the Turkey international on the left of the attack. Alajbegovic, who joined Juventus on a permanent deal from OGC Nice, is one of the candidates to replace Yildiz, while Boga's loan deal was made permanent earlier this summer after an encouraging return to Serie A in the second half of the 2025-26 season.
