Domestic action is back in full swing for many of Europe’s leagues and that means numerous Americans will be on display. The Bundesliga returned last weekend with Timmy Chandler going the distance for Frankfurt, while Christian Pulisic and John Brooks both missed out due to injuries. DeAndre Yedlin continues to be a regular for Rafa Benitez’s Newcastle but they have a daunting task this weekend, facing Manchester City away from home.
In Mexico, after midweek Copa MX action, league play resumes this weekend starting on Friday. William Yarborough leads Club Leon in a road test at Cruz Azul, while Omar Gonzalez hopes to play for Pachuca against Lobos. Shaq Moore will expect more playing time this weekend for Levante at Villarreal, as Bobby Wood and Hamburg host Koln at home.
