Kenan Yildiz spent the early weeks of his recovery from a long term injury in Germany, but the youngster is now back in Turin as he continues his rehabilitation using Juventus’ facilities.
The forward is still not close to a return, although he has made progress since undergoing surgery. Juventus could potentially have him available again in the coming weeks, but the club is determined to avoid taking unnecessary risks with his recovery.
The ideal timeline for Yildiz’s return is after the November international break, although Juventus are trying their best not to rush him back into action.
Tuttojuve reports that the Bianconeri have been closely following his progress and could have him available sooner than expected. However, the club is being extremely cautious because any mistake during his recovery could lead to another setback.
Juventus remain patient with Yildiz
Juventus know there is no reason to take unnecessary risks with Yildiz, particularly because there are still many matches to be played this season. The youngster will have plenty of opportunities to contribute once he is fully fit and ready to return.
His absence has required patience, but the club would rather wait for the right moment than bring him back too soon and risk another injury.
Yildiz is eager to return to the pitch and wear the black and white shirt again, but Juventus are focused on making sure his recovery is completed properly.

Yildiz will return when fully fit
The club’s decision to remain cautious is also helped by the amount of cover available within the squad. Juventus do not need to force Yildiz back into action simply because they want him available.
Instead, they can give him the time he needs to regain his fitness and confidence before returning to competitive football.
Yildiz will be expected to play an important role once he is back, and Juventus know how valuable his presence can be. However, they will continue to take their time with his rehabilitation.
