Tim Weah heads into the upcoming USMNT Nations League quarterfinals against Jamaica in scintillating form, having netted his third goal in four Serie A matches during Juventus' 2-0 derby victory over Torino. The 24-year-old forward, who has been named to Mauricio Pochettino's 25-man squad, is enjoying his most prolific season in Italy, scoring four goals in eight league appearances.
Weah's transformation under new Juventus manager Thiago Motta has been remarkable. After going scoreless in 30 Serie A appearances last season, he's flourishing in a more attacking role within Motta's 4-2-3-1 formation. His recent goal against Torino over the weekend scored with his father and former Ballon d'Or winner George Weah watching from the stands, showcased his intelligent positioning.
The American's versatility has made him an irreplaceable figure for Juventus, where he boasts the team's best goal-scoring rate at one goal every 112 minutes. His ability to play multiple positions and provide both defensive coverage and attacking threat aligns perfectly with what both club and country need.
However, Weah will miss the first leg in Kingston while serving the second game of a two-match suspension carried over from the Copa America. He'll be available for selection in the crucial return leg in St. Louis on November 18.
