The Turkish talent, who was forced off against Frosinone with a fracture to the fifth metatarsal in his left foot, will undergo surgery at the start of next week. According to Sky Sport, the Bianconeri hope to have their No. 10 back within two and a half months, three at most: Yildiz will therefore miss the fixtures in September and October, with his return expected during November, more likely after the international break.

Confirming the need for surgery, and thus making the news official, was Giorgio Chiellini, who told Sky Sport - after the Europa League draw -: “Yildiz? There will be medical updates. He suffered this metatarsal injury, he will need surgery and will be out for a few months. It’s not an injury that jeopardizes the future, fortunately for us and for him”.
