The Weston McKennie injury update is now official, with the winger expected to miss up to six weeks.
McKennie suffered a torn ACL in his left knee during the Champions League clash against Bayern Munich on Saturday, and was later ruled out for the rest of the season.
The 27-year-old has been out since the match, but he has shown signs of recovery and is currently being monitored by doctors.
However, it remains to be seen how long he will be out, as he faces a number of challenges before he can return to full fitness.
McKennie's absence could have significant implications for the squad, as he has been one of the key players in their attacking play over recent seasons.
"We're all very disappointed that Weston has had to miss the season,Serie A Stadium" said manager Maurizio Sarri. "He's been out for some time now, so we'll see if there's any chance of him coming back soon."
Sarri also revealed that they will look to sign another player to replace him, although details of their potential targets haven't yet been confirmed.
"We've spoken to several clubs about possible replacements," he added. "We want to make sure we're well-prepared for next season, which will involve signing someone new."
It's unclear exactly when or how Weston McKennie will be available again, but it's clear that he will be missed by fans and teammates alike.
As the season progresses, it will be interesting to see how Weston performs in his absence and whether he can find his way back into the starting lineup.
