McKennie: First violates Covid protocol, then brings a guest and exits

McKennie – Goosens (Lapresse)

McKennie during his retreat with the US allegedly violated the anti Covid bubble twice and brought a person from the outside into the room

Until a few days ago the Juventus coach, Massimiliano Allegri, spoke of Weston McKennie as a non-transferable and among the best future prospects for the Bianconeri. “He mustn’t leave. He has goals in his legs, he must work and improve: he is an attacking midfielder, let’s say that we are in very good shape on this level”, said the coach at the end of August. Today, however, the situation of the American footballer has radically changed due to a series of behaviors that have literally sent the management of the club into a rage.

McKennie allegedly violated anti-Covid 19 protocol repeatedly while on retreat with the United States in the city of Nashville. In particular, according to reports from ESPN, the midfielder on two different occasions would have come out of the bubble to protect the American national team from possible infections and without authorization he would have brought a person into the room from the outside. All this would have happened after McKennie following the draw with El Salvador had asked his teammates for greater responsibility given the qualification in the balance. McKennie’s behavior cost him the call-up against Canada and perhaps even the Juventus shirt.

It is not the first time that the US player has been recalled for disciplinary reasons. Il scroso April Pirlo excluded him from the derby with Turin for having organized a private party at home, which was also attended by Dybala, Arthur and several girls, despite the anti Covid regulations not allowing it. It is therefore not excluded that McKennie could be put on the market in January
