Juventus faced a setback in their Serie A clash against AC Milan as rising star Kenan Yildiz was forced to leave the pitch due to an adductor injury. The 20-year-old Turkish forward, who has been a bright spot for the Bianconeri this season, had to be substituted at halftime.
Yildiz, wearing the number 10 shirt, had started the match as part of Thiago Motta’s 4-2-3-1 formation. However, the youngster’s involvement was cut short when he experienced discomfort in his adductor muscle during the first half.
In response to Yildiz’s injury, Motta made a tactical adjustment, bringing on Timothy Weah to replace the injured forward. Weah took up position on the right flank, maintaining the team’s shape as they sought to overcome the loss of their creative attacker.
This injury comes as a blow to Juventus, who have been relying on Yildiz’s talents, especially in the absence of other key players. The club had already been dealing with injuries to Francisco Conceicao and Dusan Vlahovic, making Yildiz’s role even more crucial in recent matches.
