Injury Calf
Est. Return 6/14/2026
Completes full training session
Yildiz (calf) recovered from injury and completed the full training session with the team, according to NTVSpor.
ANALYSIS
Yildiz is the biggest question mark in Turkey's starting lineup ahead of their World Cup opener against Australia. The forward had been training separately for the past few days following a calf injury with Juventus and only rejoined the group in team training today. With the game just around the corner, coach Vincenzo Montella faces a difficult call on whether to throw him straight into the starting eleven or ease him in from the bench.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Linked with Premier League move
Yildiz is being linked with a move to the Premier League next summer, according to Sky Sports.

It's not surprising to see Premier League clubs keeping close tabs on Yildiz, as Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United have been linked with a move for the Turkey star at some point over the last 12 months. However, the move to England might not happen yet. The Turkey international is on the verge of signing a new deal with Juventus rather than choosing to leave for another club.
