According to media reports, Kenan Yildiz’s participation in the crucial Serie A match between Juventus and Atalanta is uncertain.
The game is scheduled to take place at the Allianz Juventus Stadium in Turin on Sunday evening.
This is a highly significant match as Atalanta and Juventus are direct rivals in the fight for top positions in the league table, separated by only three points.
Yildiz was expected to start, but according to Sky Sport Italia, the Turkish footballer has fallen ill with a stomach bug.
It remains unclear whether he will recover by Sunday.
The issue with Yildiz adds to Juventus’s existing squad problems.
Head coach Thiago Motta is already dealing with a lengthy injury list, including Conceicao, Luiz, Savona, Rouhi, Milik, Bremer, and Cabal.
Teun Koopmeiners, who had previously been underperforming, seems to have regained confidence after scoring in the last match against Verona, especially ahead of facing his former team.
