McKennie has been thriving at Juventus in 2023/24, coming off of a disappointing loan spell away from the club last season at now-relegated Leeds United. The USMNT midfielder has slotted into the central pivot in Massimiliano Allegri's system perfectly, but in cases, has also played right wing-back for the Italian. Regardless, he continues to impress for the Bianconeri – which is great news for Gregg Berhalter and the U.S. men's national team.

The Bianconeri are back in action on Friday against Genoa, as they look to continue their red-hot Serie A form. For McKennie, he won't report back to the USMNT until the new year.
