USMNT star Weston McKennie misses Juventus training ahead of Aston Villa Champions League clash as Bianconeri's injury problems deepen

Juventus have been suffering from an injury rut of sorts as the Bianconeri have suffered a total of 15 separate injuries in the first-team since the start of the season. As Thiago Motta's side look ahead to their Champions League clash against Aston Villa, they currently have six players out injured including Bremer, Juan Cabal, Arkadiusz Milik, Nico Gonzalez, Vasilije Adzic and Dusan Vlahovic set to miss the clash due to injuries alongside midfielder Arthur Melo, who has been cast out of the squad.

The Bianconeri may be without McKennie, too, as Tuttosportreports the USMNT star was missing from training on Monday morning. The report claims that McKennie is facing physical difficulties, though the details are unknown. While it isn't believed to be a major issue, there is worry inside the Juventus camp that he won't be fit enough to play against Villa in the Champions League.

McKennie was heavily linked with a move to Villa in the summer as Juventus looked to include the USMNT midfielder in a swap deal for Douglas Luiz, however, the move failed to go through as Unai Emery's side ended up signing Amadou Onana, Enzo Barrenechea and Ross Barkley instead to cover their midfield.

Motta's side will take on the English side in the Champions League on Wednesday, and it remains to be seen if McKennie will be fit to take to the field at Villa Park.
