Weston McKennie and Leonardo Bonucci miss out! Juventus drop USMNT star and club captain from squad ahead of United States tour

  • USMNT star won't make trip
  • One of a number of players dropped
  • Bonucci also misses out

WHAT HAPPENED? McKennie has been excluded from the club's squad for the trip to the US, along with club captain Bonucci. Per Football Italia, the players who have not been selected to travel with the squad have been told to find a new club, as they will not be considered for selection in 2023/24.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Along with being excluded from the squad, McKennie and Bonucci have also been told that they are to have no contact with manager Max Allegri and to train with the youth team. McKennie spent the second half of last season on loan at Leeds, as the club were relegated to the Championship. Bonucci has made 502 appearances for the Serie A giants.

AND WHAT'S MORE: McKennie joined Juve in 2021 and went on to play 96 times for the club, although it does not appear likely that he will add to that tally. He has been linked with Aston Villa but it is unclear if he will be available on a permanent transfer or on loan again.

IN THREE PHOTOS:

WHAT NEXT? McKennie will aim to find a new club before the end of the summer transfer window.
