USA's Weston McKennie has 'point to prove' in Juventus return

Weston McKennie wants to prove he's worthy to Juventus and its fans.

He joined the 36-time Italian champion for the 2020-21 season, had his following season cut short by a broken foot, then was loaned to Leeds United last January and couldn't help the English club avoid relegation.

McKennie returned to Juventus this summer as a teammate of fellow American Timothy Weah, entered the first two matches as a substitute and made his first start last weekend in a 2-0 win at Empoli.
