United States Men's National Soccer Team star Weston McKennie was enjoying a strong season in Italy for top-flight giants Juventus, but the latest update on the American midfielder is a brutal blow to the 23-year-old. According to manager Massimiliano Allegri, McKennie will miss the remainder of the Serie-A season after sustaining a broken foot, via Fabrizio Romano. 

McKennie sustained the broken foot during Juventus' Champions League clash against Villareal and has been sidelined since. There was some hope he'd be able to return before the season ended, but Allegri has poured cold water on those hopes with his latest update on the midfielder. Allegri revealed that McKennie's season was over, but assured fans that the young midfielder would be able to return next season once he's recovered from his broken foot.
