Kenan Yildiz injured: Turkey national team star in doubt

Juventus forward Kenan Yildiz suffered a calf injury during training and will miss the final matchday of Serie A. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the talented Turkish footballer has a slight muscle strain, though it is not a serious tear. This is reported by Goal.com reports .

Due to this injury, the winger will not be able to play in Juventus' crucial match against Torino. Doctors estimate that the recovery process could take about three weeks. This puts the player's participation in the upcoming World Cup in doubt.

To date, Yildiz has played 28 matches for the Turkey national team, scoring 5 goals. Now he will have to race against time to regain his fitness before the tournament begins.
