As of November 3, 2026, Juventus youngster Yildiz is nearing a return to full fitness, creating a new tactical headache for Italy head coach Luciano Spalletti.
The 19-year-old attacker has been absent from recent squads but his impending availability gives Spalletti additional attacking options to consider.
Spalletti's current system has operated effectively without Yildiz, and the coach must now weigh how best to incorporate the talented forward without disrupting team balance.
