Juventus midfielder Weston McKennie became the latest U.S. men’s national team player to pick up an injury this week, raising more concerns for the USMNT with the World Cup less than a month away.
According to Sky Sport Italia, McKennie was subbed off in Juventus’s 1–0 win over Lecce on Saturday at halftime with a thigh injury. The report said McKennie is now expected to miss the club’s Champions League group stage finale against Paris Saint-Germain this week, as the injury will likely keep him off the field for 15 days.
If his recovery stays true to the reported timeline, McKennie would make his return just one week before the USMNT’s World Cup opener against Wales on Nov. 21, barring any setbacks. The U.S. also will play England and Iran in the group stage.
