USMNT star Tim Weah diagnosed with thigh injury ahead of Juventus' final matches of 2024

U.S. international Tim Weah came on as a late substitute in Juventus' 4-0 Coppa Italia win over Cagliari on Tuesday, one which halted the club's recent winless run in domestic games. The U.S. men's national team star apparently suffered an injury during that 10-minute cameo, with Juventus announcing that Weah had undergone examinations on Wednesday morning.

Those examinations revealed a slight thigh injury for Weah, with the Athletic reporting the winger expected to miss at least two weeks.

"Following the muscular problem suffered on Tuesday night in the Coppa Italia match against Cagliari, Timothy Weah underwent clinical and instrumental examinations this morning at J|Medical, which revealed a low-grade injury of the femoral biceps of the right thigh," the club said in a statement.

The injury comes at a rough time for Weah, who was continuing to rebuild momentum after an earlier ailment forced him to miss a large chunk of the season's first few months. Weah was hampered by hamstring and ankle injuries earlier this season, forcing him to miss much of August, September and October.

Now, it appears Weah will miss Juventus' clashes against Monza and Fiorentina to close out 2024. There is a chance he could also miss the Old Lady's Supercoppa Italiana semifinal against AC Milan and two American national teammates in Christian Pulisic (if he's back from injury) and Yunus Musah.

This injury robs the club of another key attacker as it is already missing several other players, including Andrea Cambiaso and Arkadiusz Milik, who are set to return soon, as well as Gleison Bremer, who is out for the season with an ACL injury.

Weah has four goals and an assist in Serie A play and also was credited with an assist on Nico Gonzalez's fantastic finish on Tuesday in the Coppa Italia.

Juventus will look to turn around their Serie A season beginning on Sunday when they visit Monza before closing 2024 with a clash with Fiorentina. If Weah isn't able to play in the Supercoppa Italiana, his return could come against Torino on Jan. 11.
