Americans Abroad Midweek Preview: Christian Pulisic, Jonathan Gonzalez and more

It’s a big week for Americans Abroad in a variety of competitions as Thanksgiving approaches.

In the UEFA Champions League, Christian Pulisic and Borussia Dortmund are fighting for their tournament lives heading into a clash with Tottenham, but it remains to be seen if the American will be healthy enough to take the field. Pulisic has been dealing with a muscle issue, making him unlikely to feature for the German side, who sit five points out of second with two games to play.

Meanwhile in the Europa League, Matt Miazga’s Vitesse and Aaron Schoenfeld’s Maccabi Tel Aviv are all but eliminated heading into the fifth round of matchups on Thursday. Miazga and Vitesse face group leaders Lazio while Schoenfeld leads the Israeli side against third-place Slavia Prague.

Mexican soccer features both Copa MX and Liga MX Liguilla clashes, with Jonathan Gonzalez’s Monterrey opening their run in the latter against Atlas.
