McKennie starts for Juventus against AC Milan. Weah on the bench. https://bsky.app/profile/juventusfc.bsky.social/post/3lbmuo2kx622z
They has a weird no forward formation. McKennie was decent and put a player in on a great chance in the second half. Juve has no healthy forwards and the coach could have used Weah there but didn't even start him.
Wes is out for the match against Villa. Haven't heard what the injury is, but he will miss at least the midweek match.
Albanese just said "fatigue" yesterday. Other outlets say "muscle soreness", so we'll have to wait until Juve says something more definitive. Considering how many of the other USMNT starters were rested both days, I'm inclined to hope that it is just some tiredness and not something worse.
A bit concerning since he missed a game a few weeks ago with something similar. Is his wolverine blood dwindling?
TuttoSport says he's still not training with the team: https://www.tuttomercatoweb.com/ser...c-savona-verso-il-rientro-col-bologna-2042318
Everyone has ragged on him about his diet so now he's slimmer but has lost his wolverine healing powers.
Wes was training and is supposedly available for selection: 1866446540866244756 is not a valid tweet id Also think he picked up this injury vs. RB Leipzig: 1866133816982532438 is not a valid tweet id
Goal Wes!!!! Excellent counter by Juve found Wes in space, who moved the quickly to Weah whose centre (at the second attempt) found Wes unmarked in the Box What. A. Finish.
Good recovery by Weah after his first attempt at a centre was blocked and an excellent pick-out of Wes as he steamed into the box
if you would like to see what "undying hatred" looks like, feel free to swing into some online LUFC fanspaces who are following this match. Turns out a fair number of them never got over Weston's (can't stress this part enough) 4 month stint with the club.
2-0 it finished, leaving Juve only 2 points off 8th place. They're through to the next round already and decently placed for a bye to the last 16
loser mentality from a fanbase. team was a dumpster fire. you could have dropped mesi into that shit show and he'd have looked pedestrian. meanwhile weston continues to be a king in Turin and score huge goals for a footballing blue blood, recent year fade or not.
