USMNT, Juventus Star Weston McKennie Suffers Ankle Injury vs. Villarreal

It has not been a good week for the U.S. men's national team on the injury front.

Just two days after Gio Reyna suffered a thigh injury playing for Borussia Dortmund, Weston McKennie left Juventus's Champions League last-16 first leg against Villarreal with an ankle injury.

During Tuesday's 1-1 draw, the USMNT midfielder went down immediately after a tackle by Pervis Estupiñán in the 81st minute. As he was subbed off, McKennie could hardly make his way off the field, requiring assistance to exit, and he will need a scan to determine the full extent of the injury, and it is currently unclear how long the former FC Dallas academy product will be out.
