According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus has largely confirmed that Yildiz will undergo surgery and is expected to be sidelined for nearly three months, with the club and player still evaluating the location for the procedure.

According to reports, consultations in recent hours have cleared up any remaining doubts: Yildiz will undergo surgery for a confirmed fifth metatarsal fracture in his left foot. This is a significant blow for both Juventus and the player. He will have the surgery in the coming days to treat the injury he sustained against Frosinone.

At the time, it seemed like a normal incident—a tread that appeared no more dangerous than any other collision on the pitch—but on Monday, the pain combined with examination results clarified the diagnosis: a confirmed fifth metatarsal fracture in his left foot, and surgery is almost inevitable.

Recent consultations have ruled out any remaining doubts. Now, Juventus's medical team and the player must decide when and where to perform the surgery. Evaluations are currently being conducted both in Italy and abroad, and a decision will be made soon so that rehabilitation can begin as quickly as possible and the countdown to his return can start.

He will miss at least ten Serie A matches against Parma, Milan, Sassuolo, Atalanta, Cagliari, Lazio, Lecce, Genoa, Naples, and Fiorentina, as well as four Europa League matches.

Juventus hopes to have Yildiz back around the November international break. In the final stages of last season, after Yildiz was sidelined with patellar tendinitis, Juventus lost the opportunity to compete for Champions League qualification. With him on the pitch and without him, Juventus were completely different teams with different rhythms.

Spalletti is seeking solutions on the field, while the management searches for players in the transfer market. There is no direct replacement for Yildiz in the squad, but in the last six months, Juventus have signed two potential alternatives: the more experienced Boga and 18-year-old Alaybegović.

A few weeks ago, Spalletti was still trying to get Yildiz and Alaybegović to coexist. Now, the latter could be deployed on the left wing, which suits him better, and Juventus have no shortage of wingers. Spalletti can also use Conceição, Zhegrova, and N. González, who remains with the squad for now.

Juventus are willing to swap N. González for Atletico Madrid's Sørloth. Contact between the clubs continued yesterday and is expected to continue until the transfer window closes next Tuesday. Currently, there remains a gap between Juventus and Atletico Madrid.

Simeone wants N. González on loan, but is unwilling to let Sørloth leave. Atletico Madrid is standing firm on its position, insisting on a €40 million asking price for Sørloth, which remains too high for Juventus.

As a result, Juventus management still considers Zirkzee as an alternative. He is not a penalty-box striker like Vlahović or Sørloth, but in Juventus's view, he is a top-level option nonetheless, especially if he can be signed on loan from Manchester United.
