There's more unfortunate news for the USMNT midfield with just 22 days to go until lining up against Wales: Weston McKennie, after coming off injured at the start of the second half during Juventus' 1-0 win over Lecce on Saturday, has been diagnosed with a thigh injury that'll keep him out for over two weeks.
Arsenal returned to the top of the Premier League on Sunday with a commanding 5-0 victory over Nottingham Forest at the Emirates, and the Gunners dedicated their win to on-loan defender Pablo Marí, who was stabbed Thursday during an attack in an Italian supermarket that left one dead and five injured.
There have been very few bright spots for Juventus this season. On the back of the club’s humiliation in the Champions League midweek, a host of injuries forced manager Massimiliano Allegri’s hand as he utilized many of his younger players against Lecce. His faith was rewarded by Nicolò Fagioli, who scored a stunning goal to give the Bianconeri a 1-0 win.

Monza soccer player Pablo Mari has been stabbed along with at least four other people in a shopping mall in the town of Assago outside Milan, news agency ANSA reported on Thursday.
The BBC said a 46-year-old suspect has been detained and the motive for the attack in a supermarket was not clear. Italian police said one person had died, a Bolivian national.
Con Hirving Lozano de titular y dándole uno que otro dolor de cabeza a José Mourinho, el Napoli venció a la AS Roma por 1-0 en el Stadio Olímpico. El triunfo puso al equipo del sur italiano al tope de la Serie A y aumentó a 11 su número de victorias consecutivas, contando liga local y Champions League.
El gol del Napoli vino en los pies del nigeriano Víctor Osimhen, quien a los 80 minutos se sacó de encima a Chris Smalling y batió con remate cruzado a Rui Patricio.
VICTOR JAMES OSIMHEN!
Juventus got a confidence boost after crushing Empoli 4-0 at the Allianz Stadium for their second straight victory in Serie A. American Weston McKennie played 65 minutes and helped to keep the three points at home, scoring a magnificent header.
McKennie's goal was his first this season for Juventus and came in the most McKennie fashion: a thunderous header after a set piece.
Hirving Lozano no tuvo un buen inicio de temporada con el Napoli, sin goles y apenas una asistencia. Tan malo era el asunto que muchos aficionados lo tenían de punching ball y él mismo andaba con los cables cruzados. Sin embargo, con la llegada de octubre, el Chucky se puso en modo Halloween y acaba de anotar por tercer partido consecutivo.
The Derby Della Mole has been completely dominated by Juventus, especially in recent years. However, Juve’s monotonous, predictable and uninspired performances of late have allowed their nearby neighbors to catch up and just two points separated the sides going into the derby. Despite a stunning goalkeeping performance from Torino’s Vanja Milinković-Savić, Juventus found its winner thanks to Dušan Vlahović.

MILAN — AC Milan secured a 2-0 win over rivals Juventus with goals from defender Fikayo Tomori and midfielder Brahim Diaz in a spirited Serie A clash at the San Siro on Saturday.
Tomori made it 1-0 just before the break when he followed up a shot by Olivier Giroud and rifled the ball into the roof of the net, sending Juve goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny the wrong way.
