Injured Yildiz subbed off during Juventus-Milan | OneFootball

Juventus star Kenan Yildiz suffered an adductor injury during the first half of a Serie A game against Milan and was replaced by Timothy Weah.

The Turkey international was subbed off during the half-time break of Saturday’s home game against Milan.

USMNT winger Weah replaced him.

“Kenan felt an adductor issue and Tim can play well on the right flank, open up the width a bit and get the ball into the box,” Juventus coach Motta said in an interview before the start of the second half.

The game’s result was 0-0 at the break. Yildiz had started as a right winger, joining Teun Koopmeiners and Samuel Mbangula behind Nico Gonzalez, deployed as a false nine.

Yildiz had a good chance in the opening 45 minutes, but Milan keeper Mike Maignan saved his shot from inside the box.

Yildiz has six goals and five assists in 29 appearances across all competitions with Juventus this season.

The Turkish talent is expected to undergo medical tests in the coming hours to learn the extent of his physical issue.

Juventus’ next competitive match is against Club Brugge in the Champions League next Tuesday. Their next Serie A match is away at Napoli on January 25.
