Weston McKennie, the versatile midfielder for Juventus, has been injured and is currently out of action. The news comes as a blow to Juventus, who have already lost several key players due to injury.
McKennie's injury status was confirmed by Juventus in a statement released on their official website. The statement read: "We can confirm that Weston McKennie has suffered an injury during training this morning. He will undergo further examinations to determine the extent of his injury."
The 25-year-old midfielder has been a regular starter for Juventus in recent seasons, making over 100 appearances for the club. However, his absence from the team will be felt,La Liga Stadium especially given Juventus' struggles without him.
McKennie's injury comes just days after Juventus announced that defender Leonardo Bonucci had undergone surgery to repair a torn ligament in his knee. This means that both Bonucci and McKennie could be out for an extended period, which could leave Juventus with a depleted squad heading into the upcoming Serie A season.
Despite the setback, Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri remains optimistic about his side's chances of success this season. "We have to face this situation with professionalism," he said. "We have to work hard and do everything we can to get back on track as soon as possible."
While McKennie's injury is a significant setback for Juventus, there is still hope that he will recover in time to play a part in the upcoming season. In the meantime, the club will rely on other midfielders such as Aaron Ramsey and Mateo Kovačić to fill in for McKennie's absence.
