Timothy Weah injury with US national team ‘not serious’ | OneFootball

Olympique de Marseille’s Timothy Weah (24) was forced off during the United States’ friendly defeat against South Korea (0-2) on Sunday, but early indications suggest the injury is nothing more than a minor setback – according to a report from La Provence.

The American winger, who joined OM from Juventus this summer, was substituted in the 62nd minute after feeling discomfort in his right leg. USA manager Mauricio Pochettino downplayed the incident post-match, explaining that the player had suffered from cramps.

Sources close to the player have also sought to reassure supporters, describing the issue as “benign” and pointing to the fact that Weah had undergone an accelerated pre-season due to his late transfer from Italy.

Since arriving at Marseille, Weah has quickly become an important option for Roberto De Zerbi, who has used him regularly across multiple attacking roles. Les Olympiens are preparing for a packed September schedule, including their return to the Champions League against Real Madrid and the highly anticipated Clasico against PSG on September 21st.GFFN | George Boxall
