WHAT HAPPENED?

Weah is looking to build on a debut campaign in Turin that saw him <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/christian-pulisic-no1-usmnt-hierarchy-serie-a-alexi-lalas-future-questions-tim-weah-yunus-musah-juventus-ac-milan/blt2ee9ab30acf752c9" target="_blank">handed just 12 Serie A starts</a>, with fitness problems holding him back at times. He had been hoping to enjoy a regular role this term, but familiar issues have resurfaced when it comes to putting himself in contention for selection.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Weah was replaced against Como, alongside midfielder Khephren Thuram, and is now set for a spell on the sidelines. Juve have said in an update delivered on the club’s <a href="https://www.juventus.com/en/news/articles/medical-update-khephren-thuram-timothy-weah " target="_blank">official website</a>: “Following muscular problems suffered during last night's match, Khephren Thuram and Timothy Weah underwent diagnostic tests this morning at the J|Medical, which revealed for the former a low-grade hamstring injury in his left thigh and for the latter a low-grade hamstring injury in his right thigh. New examinations are scheduled for both players in approximately 10 days' time.”

WHAT JUVENTUS SAID

Juve will be back in action when facing Verona on August 26. A home date with Roma on September 1 will carry them into the first international break of 2024-25, with it yet to be determined whether Weah will figure in either of those fixtures or in plans for his country as the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/usmnt-announce-final-games-2024-against-canada-new-zealand-panama/blt6451adb5d60649df" target="_blank">USMNT prepare for friendly dates with Canada and New Zealand</a>.
