Weston McKennie is playing through the pain of a “hip problem” at Juventus, Andrea Pirlo has revealed, with the United States international hailed for being “a rock” that “grits his teeth” and gets on with it.
The Bianconeri have needed the 22-year-old midfielder to do just that of late as they endeavour to nurse their way through untimely injury issues.
McKennie has remained a reliable option for the Serie A champions, with the USMNT star further enhancing his reputation during a loan spell in Turin as he puts his body on the line for the good of a collective cause.
