Kenan Yildiz faces two-match ban for violent conduct

Juventus forward Kenan Yildiz has received a two-match ban and a €10,000 fine after being sent off for violent conduct during a match against Monza, where he elbowed Alessandro Bianco. The incident, which was confirmed after a VAR review, resulted in a straight red card and immediate criticism for the 19-year-old, who later apologized to fans and his opponent both on the field and on social media. Yildiz's suspension comes at a crucial time as Juventus face decisive fixtures against Bologna and Lazio in their pursuit of a Champions League spot, making his absence a significant blow to the team. The club currently holds a narrow lead over their rivals, increasing the pressure of these upcoming matches. While fans and the club acknowledge Yildiz's immaturity as part of his development, they hope he learns from the incident and continues his progression as a promising talent. The disciplinary action aligns with Serie A regulations for violent conduct, underscoring the league's strict stance on such behavior.
