NASHVILLE, Tenn.: Midfielder Weston McKennie did not dress for Sunday night’s World Cup qualifier against Canada after the team violated COVID-19 rules.
McKennie, who plays for Juventus, started the opening 0-0 draw in El Salvador on Thursday night and is among the top American players.
Unfortunately, I have been suspended for tonight’s match due to a breach of team COVID-19 protocol, McKennie said in a statement posted to Instagram. I am sorry for my actions. I’ll have a lot of cheers for the boys tonight and hope to be back with the team soon.
