The third of five potential AC Milan-Juventus matchups takes place on Saturday with three points at stake in Serie A.

Yunus Musah and AC Milan visit Weston McKennie, Tim Weah and Juventus in this weekend’s headlining clash in Italy. Christian Pulisic, who would normally be expected to start in this match, is doubtful after suffering an apparent thigh injury.

Musah is coming off a substitute performance midweek as the Rossoneri defeated Como 2-1. The U.S. men’s national team midfielder replaced Pulisic at halftime as the star attacker limped off the field on Tuesday.

Musah, 22, has made 21 combined appearances this season, registering two assists. He is an option to start in Sergio Conceicao’s squad, bringing a strong work rate and versatility to the mix.

McKennie assisted once midweek as Juventus tied Atalanta 1-1 in Bergamo. The 26-year-old has continued to feature in a wing back role under Thiago Motta and will be aiming to get onto the stat sheet again this weekend.

Weah, 24, has added two assists in his last four appearances across all competitions, however, was unused midweek. Although Weah could be fresh to start on Saturday, he might remain a substitute option for Motta to consider.
