Yildiz and McKennie injury update: Juventus duo in doubt for Brugge clash

Juventus sighed a breath of relief after learning that Kenan Yildiz and Weston McKennie haven’t suffered any serious injury during their Saturday’s 2-0 win over Milan, although they remain at risk of missing the upcoming Champions League clash against Club Brugge.

The Turkish talent sparked a greater concern for coach Thiago Motta, who was forced to sub him off at half time, explaining he had ‘felt an adductor issue’. The USMNT international was able to complete the game but also felt discomfort in his left leg.

However, multiple reports emerged on Sunday confirming the pair were diagnosed with muscle fatigue, ruling out fears of potential strains.

Therefore, both Yildiz and McKennie are expected to return to fitness in a short time, but the Bianconeri are likely to adopt a cautious approach and are set to assess their condition tomorrow before deciding whether to call them up for their Champions League away trip to Brugge.

Francisco Conceiçao will also be unavailable for the mid-week fixture, while Andrea Cambiaso is expected to start again despite rumours of an imminent move to Manchester City.
