Weston McKennie named Juventus’ Player of the Month for January


Weston McKennie’s productive month of January earned him honors at Juventus.

McKennie was named the Bianconeri’s Player of the Month for January, the Serie A club announced Wednesday. The U.S. men’s national team midfielder scored three goals in seven appearances across all competitions last month. 

McKennie opened the month by scoring in a 1-1 draw with Lecce on Jan. 3.

He also found the back of the net in a 5-0 triumph over Cremonese and a 2-0 UEFA Champions League win over Benfica. 

McKennie started in all seven of Juventus’ matches in January, logging a full 90 minutes on five occasions. The Bianconeri won four of their seven matches last month, losing just once over that span. 

He now has six goals this season, tying a career-high that he set back in the 2020-21 campaign. McKennie is also on the verge of setting a new career-best for appearances in a single season after featuring 35 times to date since August. 

McKennie will look to add to both totals on Thursday when Juventus visits Atalanta in Coppa Italia play.
