[Saba Sports News] Recently, Juventus midfielder Weston McKennie stated in a media interview that he has made up his mind to lose weight, admitting that this has long been a persistent issue for him. The Juventus star has only three Serie A matches left to play this season, after which he is highly likely to be named in the United States national team squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup hosted on home soil. Aiming to be in peak physical condition for some of the most crucial fixtures of his career, McKennie has been working hard to adjust his lifestyle to ensure he stays at his best. In the opening episode of the newly released documentary series Road to the 2026 World Cup on streaming platform Tubi, McKennie said: “Weight has always been my biggest weakness.” In the same episode, McKennie held a family barbecue during the off-season — which also marked the starting point of his three-day fast as part of his weight-loss plan.
The editor believes that midfielder has personally felt the benefits brought by this transformation and is currently in the best form of his career. Across 45 appearances in all competitions for Juventus, he has registered a career-high 9 goals and 8 assists, including 4 goals in the UEFA Champions League.
