Weston McKennie received a harsh sanction from Juventus

Weston McKennie had managed to escape any kind of scandal since his arrival at Juventus in August 2020, however, a month after the Italian team exercised its option to buy, the American midfielder has gotten into trouble after organizing a meeting with more than 20 people including his teammates Paulo Dybala and Brazilian Arthur.

With the restrictions imposed to lower the number of coronavirus infections in Italy, the US team broke various protocols that, in the first instance, made him a creditor of a fine, but things do not stop there, as various reports indicate that footballers will be suspended and temporarily excluded. According to information from CBS Sports journalist Fabrizio Romano, "Weston McKennie, Paulo Dybala and Arthur have been fined, excluded and temporarily suspended by Juventus," he said.

For now, it is known that McKennie, Dybala and Arthur will not play the game against Torino, but the specific time that they will be separated from the Vecchia Signora group is unknown, since Pirlo indicated that he does not know when they will be integrated again. "They will return to work later, we do not know when," the coach said in a press conference.

Weston adds three games with few minutes

This suspension comes after Weston reduced his time on the field of play with Juventus during their last three matches in Serie A, because against Lazio,Cagliari and Benevento he failed to accumulate more than 20 minutes each of those games. For now, the North American media has 1,237 minutes, four goals and two assists in 24 games in Serie A.

Paulo Dybala was ready to return after injury

The week had started with a joy for Dybala, who has not played since the beginning of January due to injury. The coach Pirlo had summoned him for Saturday's classic against Torino, a game that was surely going to mark his return, but he was eventually discharged.
