Kenan Yildiz is ready to return to the field and take Juventus on his shoulders at the decisive moment of the season. After a two-match suspension for elbowing Bianco, the young Turkish forward is available again for the last two Serie A games against Udinese and Venezia. These matches are crucial for qualifying for the next Champions League, a vital goal both from a sporting and economic perspective. With him on the field, Juve's point average is almost triple compared to when he is absent, and the locker room has welcomed him with enthusiasm, including a humorous moment with Carlo Pinsoglio that went viral online. Now everything depends on the feet of number 10, who wants to make amends and save a so far disappointing season. THE RETURN OF YILDIZ Yildiz missed the last two league matches against Bologna and Lazio due to suspension, a penalty that came after an elbow to Bianco during the match against Monza. A lapse that the Turk paid dearly for, not only personally but also for the team, forced to do without his creativity at a crucial moment. In these fifteen days, the 2005-born player has not stopped: he continued to train intensely, tormented by the mistake he made. Now he is ready to return to the field, more mature and determined. JUVE, HARSH NUMBERS WITHOUT YILDIZ The data is clear: with Yildiz on the field, Juve is a different team. In Serie A, with him present, the Bianconeri have achieved 16 wins out of 33 matches, with an average of 1.9 points and 1.5 goals per game. Without him? Zero wins, 0.7 points, and just 0.7 goals on average. A clear impact, highlighting how crucial his presence is for the team's offensive performance and overall effectiveness. TUDOR REGAINS THE EXTRA WEAPON With Yildiz's return, Tudor can once again count on a fundamental asset from a technical and tactical standpoint. In his 3-4-2-1 formation, number 10 will play as an attacking midfielder, alongside Nico Gonzalez, behind the striker Kolo Muani, with Vlahovic ready to step in. A more unpredictable and quality lineup, just what is needed to overcome the tight defenses of Udinese and Venezia. PINSOGLIO-YILDIZ, VIRAL MOMENT Yildiz's return was met with enthusiasm in the locker room. In particular, goalkeeper Carlo Pinsoglio was the protagonist of a comedic moment at Continassa, captured in a video that quickly went viral. Hugs, laughter, and a relaxed atmosphere: a clear sign of how well-integrated Yildiz is within the group and how important he is off the field as well. CHAMPIONS AND FUTURE Juventus has its destiny in its own hands: with two wins in the last two matches, qualification for the Champions League would be certain. A goal that is not only sporting but also economic: without the lucrative European income, the club might be forced to sell. And one of the potential sacrifices could be Yildiz, who is being closely watched by Premier League clubs. The Champions League, therefore, could also determine his future with the Bianconeri.
