U.S. men's national team midfielder Weston McKennie was dismissed by coach Gregg Berhalter for breaking the team's COVID-19 bubble on two separate occasions, according to ESPN's Jeff Carlisle.
ESPN reports the Juventus midfielder spent a night outside of the team's COVID-19 bubble while he also reportedly brought an unauthorized individual to his hotel room on a separate evening, per TUDN's "Hablamos Soccer" podcast.
After starting in the USMNT's scoreless draw with El Salvador to open World Cup qualifying, McKennie was suspended for a 1-1 draw with Canada in Nashville for violating the team's COVID protocols.
