Kenan Yildiz missed Juventus training with a mild flu ahead of the Cagliari trip; if he’s doubtful, Juventus’ goal threat dips—punters may shy from straight-win bets and instead consider Cagliari/draw double chance, Juventus handicap reduced odds, or under 2.5 goals markets depending on late team news.
Kenan Yildiz misses training with mild flu
Juventus attacking midfielder Kenan Yildiz was absent from this morning’s session at Continassa after coming down with a mild flu. The 20-year-old, who has been central to Juventus’ attacking output this season, missed the full training and his availability for the upcoming Serie A trip to Cagliari on Saturday, January 17, remains uncertain.
Availability for Cagliari clash
The club will monitor Yildiz’s condition in the build-up to the match, with a late decision likely on the squad list. His possible absence would force manager team selection changes and could blunt Juventus’ creativity and finishing, given Yildiz’s goal and assist contributions this season.
Gatti and Conceiçao back in full training
There was better news elsewhere in the camp as Federico Gatti and Francisco Conceiçao completed a full session and look set to be available for selection against Cagliari. Their return bolsters defensive and wide options for the manager ahead of the trip.
Juventus form and Yildiz’s season impact
Juventus have won six of their last seven league matches and sit fourth in the Serie A table, level on 39 points. Yildiz has been a standout performer this term, netting eight goals and supplying eight assists in 26 appearances across all competitions, underlining his importance to the side’s attacking threat.
Betting implications and what punters should consider
Yildiz’s illness complicates pre-match betting. If he is ruled doubtful, consider avoiding straight Juventus-back bets and look at Cagliari/draw double chance, Juventus with a reduced handicap, or under 2.5 goals markets until the final team news is confirmed. Monitor official line-ups close to kick-off for the most reliable odds decisions.
