Kenan Yildiz, a forward for Juventus, will not participate in the upcoming Serie A matches against Bologna and Lazio. This follows a two-game suspension confirmed by an Italian sports judge on Tuesday. The ban comes after Yildiz received a red card during Juventus' 2-0 victory over Monza last weekend.

The incident occurred when Yildiz was sent off for violent conduct, specifically for elbowing Monza's Alessandro Bianco in the face before half-time. As a result, the 19-year-old has also been fined €10,000 (£8,500). His absence is significant for Juventus as they prepare for crucial matches.

Juventus is set to face Bologna, who are currently fifth in the league standings, on Sunday. Following this match, they will play against Lazio six days later. These encounters are crucial for Juventus as they aim to secure a spot in next season's Champions League.

The absence of Yildiz poses a challenge for coach Igor Tudor. The Turkiye international has been instrumental this season with 46 appearances across all competitions, more than any other player in the team. His contributions have been vital in Juventus' campaign.

Yildiz has been a key player for Juventus this season. He has scored and assisted a total of 12 goals, second only to Dusan Vlahovic who has 19 combined goals and assists. Additionally, Yildiz leads the team with 56 chances created, highlighting his importance to the squad.

The upcoming matches against Bologna and Lazio are pivotal for Juventus' ambitions. Without Yildiz's presence on the field, the team faces an uphill battle to maintain their position in the race for European competition qualification.
