Thanks for posting a video, I've noticed him wearing it in all of the videos he has appeared in since being back in the first team. He was in a tough spot if surgery is in fact needed. He wanted to play in CA, completely understandable to postpone the surgery (if needed) but then he probably wouldn't be able to pass a physical if a team tried to acquire him over the summer. Now if he postpones to this summer, the gold cup and Club World Cup will also take place this summer. I don't know when he will be able to carve out a couple months, if surgery is needed to be 100% fitness.
Having to prove time and again he deserves to be there, imagine the size of the chip! No wonder he needs a brace!
How do you market yourself to a new team if you can't play or maybe even pass the medical portion for your transfer? Looking back, maybe it was best to do it as soon as CA ended. Maybe he also accepts the contract extension earlier so he is guaranteed his current salary for at least another 24 months and can work his way back without that on his mind ready to fight for minutes at 100% fitness.
Not sure why McKennie didn't play. Is he still hurt? https://sport.sky.it/calcio/serie-a/2024/09/14/empoli-juventus-pagelle SUBENTRATO JUVENTUS dal 66' WEAH voto 6 Empoli-Juventus, le pagelle di CM: Dal 65’ Weah 6: Frizzante, entra bene, con grande voglia, e mette in difficoltà la difesa avversaria In the 65th, Weah 6: enters the game and does well, giving a spark, with a lot of desire, and puts the opposing defense in difficulty.
A good question. Several photos of him last week with his shoulder in a ??? not sure what to call it. Did he re-injure it?
Have we addressed this? Don’t answer that - we have. Wes should … 1) Have shoulder surgery 2) Get himself into great shape 3) Move in the winter window 4) Rediscover himself as a dominant force 5) Help his team win the (not-to-be-named-in-YA) Cup in 2026 I mean, really, is he going to carry a bum shoulder until he retires? Have the surgery now, on (ungrateful) Juventus’ dime, and move on.
Giovanni Albanese on Twitter about 3 hours ago: Occhio a #McKennie fra gli undici titolari di #JuvePSV: il texano sta guadagnando vantaggio nel ballottaggio con #Thuram, potrebbe essere lui la sorpresa in linea mediana con #Locatelli e #Koopmeiners. La notte porta consiglio. #Juventus #UCL McKennie may supplant Thuram in the starting XI against PSV.
I get knocked down (we'll be singing) But I get up again You are never gonna keep me down (when we're winning)
Just a matter of time until Motta goes, "we're paying his salary, we could as well use him, what the heck."
god, imagine if he and douglas luiz wind up being part of a solid midfield trio... the memes... the jokes...
