Weston McKennie, the Juventus star midfielder, has sustained an injury during the club's match against Torino last night.
According to reports, the 24-year-old suffered a knee ligament injury and will be out for at least three months. This is a major blow for Juventus, as they were already without key players such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Paulo Dybala.
McKennie has been one of Juventus' standout performers this season, contributing with both goals and assists in all competitions. He has also been a regular starter for the Italian champions,Serie A Stadium playing in every single game so far this campaign.
The injury could have significant implications for Juventus' title hopes this season. The club currently sit second in Serie A behind Inter Milan, but there is still time for them to make up ground before the end of the season.
In the meantime, Juventus will need to find a replacement for McKennie while he recovers. There are several options available, including young talent such as Federico Bernardeschi or experienced players like Arturo Vidal.
It remains to be seen how long McKennie will be out, but it seems that he will miss a considerable amount of games this season. However, his absence should not come as a surprise given the severity of the injury.
