Americans Abroad Midweek Preview: Pulisic, McKennie, and more

1 Shares

Christian Pulisic will have an opportunity to start in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday, four days after returning to the field for Borussia Dortmund.

The 20-year-old midfielder will try to make a similar impact on the field against Atletico Madrid as he did on Matchday 1 against Club Brugge.

Pulisic returned from an injury layoff in Dortmund’s 4-0 beatdown of StuttgartĀ in Bundesliga play, as he came off the bench and registered his second assist in all competitions this season. He may find it tough to contribute to a goal for the second straight game against a stingy Atletico backline, but Pulisic provides another attacking option for the current Bundesliga leaders.

Elsewhere, Lynden Gooch and Sunderland face a trip to Doncaster Rovers in England’s third tier. Antonee Robinson will look to get back into Wigan Athletic’s starting XI on Tuesday, while Eric Lichaj and Hull City face a winnable trip to Bristol City. Romain Gall and Malmo return to Europa League play against Sarpsborg on Thursday.
