Following the trip to Lecce, Weston McKennie joined Juve’s ever-growing injury list. The midfielder should be out for a few weeks, rendering him a major doubt for his national team’s World Cup opener against Wales on November 21.
Futbol Americas anchor Sebastian Salazar asked Herculez Gomez to name a replacement for the Juventus midfielder, but the former USMNT star believes that the 24-year-old is a “physical freak of nature” who will manage to shake off his injury earlier than expected.
Gomez also feels that there’s no like-to-like replacement for McKennie in the American national team, even though Brenden Aaronson would be the best pick.
