Weston McKennie is making no excuses after being suspended from the United States national team in September, but admits finding a lack of support “hard” and concedes his early season form at Juventus in 2021-22 was “dreadful”.
The 23-year-old midfielder was removed from the USMNT fold after spending a night outside the squad’s coronavirus bubble, with former players and supporters on social media quick to condemn his actions.
McKennie accepts he made “a mistake” and believes he will bounce back stronger for having had to prove himself again to coaches and the fan base.
