Weston McKennie, the young midfielder who has been making waves in Serie A with his performances for Juventus, was forced off during their match against AC Milan on Sunday.
The incident occurred in the second half when McKennie attempted to tackle Milan's Gianluigi Donnarumma but ended up getting caught under the ball and landing awkwardly on his ankle. He appeared to be in pain as he was stretchered off the pitch.
McKennie is one of Juventus' most promising players and has already made a significant impact since joining the club from Salzburg last summer. He has been a regular starter for the Bianconeri and has become a key figure in their midfield.
The injury is a major blow for Juventus, who were looking to build on their impressive start to the season and continue their pursuit of a third consecutive Scudetto title. The club will now have to wait and see how long McKennie will be out and whether they can find a suitable replacement in time for the remainder of the season.
In the meantime,Serie A Stadium Juventus will look to rely on their other midfielders such as Blaise Matuidi and Weston Hamboli, who have also been performing well this season. However, it remains to be seen if they can provide enough cover for McKennie while he is out injured.
