Leeds United loanee facing possible ban following parent club scandal | OneFootball

Leeds United midfielder Weston McKennie could face a lengthy ban from football if he is found to have been aware of Juventus’s illegal accounting operation.

Corriere dello Sport say that McKennie, who is on loan at Leeds from Juventus, may have to defend himself in court amidst the allegations directed at the Old Lady.

Juventus were docked 15 points in Serie A back in January after being found guilty false accounting during the Covid-19 period.

Players who were at Juventus between 2019 and 2021 could face time in court if they are found to be aware of the illegal operations.

McKennie joined Juventus in 2021 from Schalke

The seriousness of the situation is further amplified by the fact that the entire Juventus board resigned over the allegations in November, while now Tottenham managing director Fabio Paratici was given a worldwide ban from football by FIFA on Wednesday.
