Americans Abroad Weekend Preview: Novakovich, Miazga, and more

1 Shares

Andrija Novakovich has started off his campaign in the Eredivisie on fine form, scoring four goals in his first six appearances with Fortuna Sittard. The 22-year-old Reading loanee will seek to help Sittard pull a major upset on Saturday as they welcome Ajax to town.

The U.S. Men’s National Team striker is coming off a two-goal performance in Sittard’s 4-4 draw with Willem II last weekend. Despite only one victory so far this season, Novakovich and Co. will seek to inch higher in the league table from their current 11th place position.

Elsewhere this weekend, Matt Miazga continues his first-team minutes with Ligue 1 side Nantes while Timothy Weah battles for a place in Thomas Tuchel’s 18-man squad at PSG. Christian Pulisic and Borussia Dortmund will be favorites to grab all three points against Bayer Leverkusen in Bundesliga play.

Tim Ream is coming his first minutes of the season with Fulham in midweek action and the London club faces a trip to Everton this weekend. DeAndre Yedlin will look to anchor the Newcastle backline once again against Leicester City, while Antonee Robinson and Eric Lichaj are the players to watch in the English second-tier.

  1. Sabbi does not dress again today, would have to figure injury given he’s scored 5 goals while starting 8 of their first 9 games today is Matchday 11.

  2. we’re a little light at the striker position, yes? question: when jordan morris gets back to health, do you guys think he can he help us?

    • Someone who depended so much on speed and athleticism, we’ll have to see how he heals. The younger forwards seem to have more technical skill so I’d lean no.

  3. Sargent with a goal this morning for Werder II so no first team minutes this week. Hopefully this means they will let him go for U20 qualifying.
