U.S. Men’s National Team star Weston McKennie will be ruled out ‘for a while’ after dislocating his shoulder playing for Schalke in Germany.
The 21-year-old was stretchered off after just 13 minutes of the Bundesliga game against Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday. Schalke were able to overcome the loss of McKennie, who lined up in central defence as opposed to his more usual place in midfield, and the dismissal of goalkeeper Alexander Nubel to emerge with a 1-0 win.
Manager David Wagner confirmed the nature of McKennie’s injury, but was unable to add much more detail, except that he could be out for an extended period.
