Tuttosport: McKennie Still Training Alone, Hopes to Make Squad for Sassuolo Match

According to Tuttosport, McKennie has not yet fully recovered from his physical issue and continued individual training today, but he still went to Continassa to meet his teammates. McKennie said with a smile: "I only came to say good morning to everyone! Good morning, everyone!" The American midfielder's special greeting made the whole team laugh, and Juventus also posted related content on social media.

McKennie stopped first-team members one by one to say good morning to them. Bremer, Nicolas Gonzalez, Lucumi, and Douglas Luiz were all included. For Woltemade, whose Italian is still not very fluent, McKennie even taught him how to say it.

After Gatti scored against Milan, McKennie's nickname for him was naturally "the striker." When facing Zhegrova, McKennie also made a gesture like a rapper. Finally, he found Kolo Muani. The French forward had not performed well against Milan and was also in a poor mood. Kolo Muani said: "No, don't say good morning. Today is not a good morning." McKennie did not stop there, instead hugging the forward and persuading him to greet the fans. Kolo Muani then shouted: "Good morn—ing." After completing his round of greetings, McKennie ran away smiling.

McKennie once again proved that he is a team-oriented Juventus player who can bring the squad together with his smile. The American player has an energetic personality and has therefore become popular among fans. However, his playful nature should not be misleading: the player born in 1998 is a very serious professional, always serving his coach and team, never making inappropriate remarks, always ready to appear where the team needs him, and consistently giving his full effort.

For this reason, McKennie's absence from the opening matches of the season has had a significant impact. He is not only an important member of Spalletti's rotation options, but also a key figure in the dressing room. The hope is that McKennie can return to team training in the coming days and fight for a place in the squad for the match against Sassuolo.
