Continues partial training
Yildiz (calf) trained with his teammates to begin training before continuing to individual work, according to Haberler.com.
Analysis: Yildiz is still in recovery and still has Turkish fans holding their breath a few days before their opener, as he is yet to join team training for a full session. He would join them to begin training Friday when the press was allowed at the session, but was then taken out for individual training to end the day, still unable to train fully. The positive news is that he is still trending in the right direction, with no setbacks taking place. His availability for the opener then remains in the air, likely to be a key part of the team once fit.
Trains partially with team
Yildiz (calf) trained partially with the Turkiye squad on Wednesday, beginning the session separately before joining a friendly training game for tactical work, marking an encouraging step forward in his recovery ahead of the World Cup opener against Australia on June 14, according to the Turkish federation.
Analysis: Yildiz had been training individually in recent days, making his partial reintegration into group sessions a significant development with the tournament just days away. The Juventus attacker ended the club season with 11 goals, nine assists and 94 chances created across 46 appearances, and coach Vincenzo Montella will be hopeful that Wednesday's positive session signals he will be available from the first fixture of Turkiye's World Cup against Australia on June 14.
