Weston McKennie’s versatility has certainly been on display for Juventus this season.
McKennie made back-to-back starts over the past week as Juventus claimed four points out of a possible six in Serie A play. The U.S. men’s national team midfielder featured at left back and right back in Thiago Motta’s squad, continuing to play in whatever role Motta needs him for.
McKennie assisted once in Juventus’ 1-1 road draw with Atalanta before logging a strong 90 minutes Saturday in a 2-0 win over AC Milan. He’s remained a consistent performer for the Bianconeri, playing roles that he normally would not play with the USMNT.
Juventus had went five matches without a victory before picking up three points on Saturday. However, a return to winning ways should provide major confidence heading into UEFA Champions League play midweek.
McKennie will aim to keep his starting spot ahead of a trip to Club Brugge.
Here is a look at some of the other top Americans Abroad performers from this past week:
Tyler Adams
A healthy Tyler Adams has certainly benefitted AFC Bournemouth.
Adams made a pair of starts over the past week as the Cherries claimed four points out of a possible six. The USMNT midfielder shined against both Chelsea and Newcastle United, logging his first EPL assist on Tyneside.
Andoni Iraola’s men are flying right now and Adams has been a key reason for it.
Tim Weah
Juventus claimed an important three points on Saturday with Tim Weah getting on the scoresheet.
Weah came off the bench and scored his fifth Serie A goal of the season as Thiago Motta’s squad defeated AC Milan 2-0. The USMNT winger will now aim for a Champions League start midweek against Club Brugge.
Antonee Robinson
Antonee Robinson logged 180 minutes and picked up two assists in a busy week for Fulham.
Robinson logged both of his assists in a 3-2 London Derby loss to West Ham United before helping the Cottagers rebound on Saturday in a 2-0 win over Leicester City. The USMNT has remained a top performer for Fulham and very well could be the mix for another Player of the Season honors.
Catarina Macario
Chelsea claimed an important three points on Sunday with USWNT star Catarina Macario getting in on the fun.
Macario scored the opening goal of the Blues’ 5-0 road win over West Ham United. The 25-year-old logged 62 minutes in midfield, creating three offensive chances and scoring her first goal since December 17.
Chelsea will expect more out of Macario as the WSL season pushes forward.
