USMNT star Weston McKennie faces at least three weeks sidelined after injuring his shoulder during Juventus' US preseason tour, the club announced Monday.
McKennie suffered a 'capsular lesion of the left shoulder' according to a team statement, which said that he will now begin rehabilitation for the issue.
The midfielder battled injury issues last season, namely a metatarsal fracture he suffered in February, and he has seen limited game action since.
He has not appeared in a preseason match this season.
