"Juve blow: Yildiz injury, he risks surgery and two months out". That is the headline Gazzetta dello Sport has given to the breaking news on the condition of the Juventus number 10.

In the newspaper's online edition, tests are under way at Jmedical. According to reports filtering through, as Gazzetta.it states, surgery is a possibility, with a possible two-month lay-off. The issue throws Juventus and Spalletti's plans into disarray, with the Italy coach having always placed the number 10 at the centre of his project.

After returning from the away trip to Frosinone, Yildiz reported a problem with his left foot and in the past few hours he was spotted at JMedical for tests. The outcome of the examinations has set alarm bells ringing in Juventus circles.

Tuttosport reports a "fracture to the left foot" and the possibility of a three-month lay-off. Massimiliano Nerozzi adds that specialists will also assess Yildiz's condition and says: by tomorrow the decision will be made, with a not low probability of surgery.
