McKennie suffers knee sprain in USMNT victory over Mexico

While the United States national team came away with a victory over their biggest rivals on Tuesday night, their joy will no doubt be tempered by an injury to star Weston McKennie.

The 20-year-old Schalke midfielder earned the start for the USA against Mexico in Nashville – his second in this international window and fifth straight for the nation.

However, his night would be ended early as he was forced off in the 40th minute, replaced by Julian Green.

Reports during the game indicated McKennie told trainers the issue was with his knee and that it was a non-contact injury.
