Who now replaces Kenan Yildiz on the Juventus team? | OneFootball

The new season has just begun, and Juventus have already lost their most important attacker, which is a major blow to their chances of success this season. Kenan Yildiz is the player around whom they have built their team, and his absence could have a significant impact on the Bianconeri.

We have seen how the Turkiye international has led from the front and how Juventus have often struggled when he is going through a poor run of form. The Old Lady have become heavily reliant on his contributions, making his potential absence particularly concerning at this early stage of the campaign.

There is no perfect replacement for Yildiz within the squad, but if he has suffered a major injury, it will be difficult for Juventus to return to the transfer market and find a replacement this summer. The club already have plans to strengthen other areas of the squad, leaving them in a difficult position.

Boga Could Step Up for Juventus

However, Juventus have other wingers who could step up in Yildiz’s absence. In the match against Frosinone, he was replaced by Jeremie Boga, and Tuttojuve says the Ivory Coast international is the first player expected to step up and replace him.

Boga could therefore be handed greater responsibility in the coming weeks. His opportunity has arrived at an unfortunate time for Yildiz, but the winger can now show Juventus that he is capable of contributing consistently when required.

Juventus have also not sold Nicolas Gonzalez yet, and Yildiz’s injury could make them reconsider their plans for the attacker. Instead of allowing Gonzalez to leave, the club could decide to keep him in Turin so he can contribute in the role vacated by Yildiz.

Alajbegovic Has Opportunity to Shine

Kerim Alajbegovic is another player who has previously played in that position before moving to Juventus this summer. The Bosnian is still adjusting to life in a new country and league, but Yildiz’s injury could allow him to make an impression.

The situation presents Juventus with a difficult challenge, but it also gives several players a chance to step forward. Boga appears to be the first option, while Gonzalez could remain at the club and Alajbegovic could also benefit from increased opportunities.

Juventus must now find a way to cope without Yildiz while continuing to pursue their ambitions for the season. His absence will be difficult to overcome, but the squad has players who can attempt to fill the gap.
