A precautionary lump sum. It is necessary to underline this so as not to create unnecessary alarmism in view of the Italian derby on Sunday: the stop of Weston McKennie, who left the US national team retreat yesterday and will return to Italy today, was preventive. The Texan midfielder preferred to give up the return match against Trinidad and Tobago to recover from his injury left knee tendinopathywith whom he has been living for some time, but his presence against Inter is not in doubt.
McKennie leaves the US retreat and returns to Turin
The black and white number 16 played the entire first leg of the quarter-finals of the Concacaf Nations League, won 3-0 against Trinidad and Tobago, on Friday in Austin, Texas. Ninety minutes regularly on the pitch after which McKennie felt the need to manage his left knee and avoid putting too much strain on it. So yesterday, while the US national team left to reach the Caribbean island off the coast of Venezuela, the midfielder, in agreement with coach Gregg Berhalter, instead took the intercontinental flight to return to Italy: there was no point in taking on a further journey, other hours of flight, without even the certainty of taking to the field, the night between tomorrow and Tuesday, instead risking worsening the condition of the knee.
