Weston McKennie is doubtful for Juventus' Europa League match against AZ Alkmaar on Thursday after experiencing muscle fatigue. The American midfielder was replaced at halftime during Juventus' 2-0 victory over Napoli on Sunday. Medical tests revealed only muscle tiredness, with no significant injury diagnosed.
Coach Luciano Spalletti will make a final decision on McKennie's status on Wednesday, November 4, when the team returns to training after being given a day off. The manager must determine whether to bring McKennie to the Netherlands or keep him in Turin for recovery ahead of Sunday's Serie A fixture against Fiorentina.
Juventus are already managing an injury crisis with Kenan Yildiz, Manuel Locatelli, Khephren Thuram, Francisco Conceiçao and Nico Gonzalez sidelined. The club has accumulated seven points through three Europa League matches this season.
