U.S. Men’s National Team defender John Brooks is coming off another international appearance and now the centerback is looking ahead towards Bundesliga play this weekend.
Brooks and Wolfsburg return to league play on Saturday as they face Bayern Munich, seeking to pull an upset. Wolfsburg last defeated Bayern 4-1 in 2014 and overall will seek to end a five-match winless run. The 25-year-old has made seven appearances this season and will have a tough test ahead of him with Robert Lewadowski on the other side of the field.
Elsewhere, Romain Gall will seek a positive start back to league play with Malmo as they welcome Hammarby to Swedbank Stadion. After an impressive debut with the USMNT, Jonathan Amon and Nordsjaelland welcome Midtjylland to town in Danish Superliagen play.
Christian Pulisic and Weston McKennie will both hope for starts in Bundesliga play. DeAndre Yedlin and Newcastle United face a winnable match against Brighton & Hove Albion, while Matt Miazga and Nantes host Toulouse.

Anyone know if Sargent played Friday?
The first team has a friendly Tuesday that Sargent is supposed to play in, he did not dress Friday.
How is Joe Corona doing? Playing? Anyone know?
Hasn’t gotten on the field in Club America’s last eight league matches despite being on the bench.
What I think we’ll see for the Euro-centered squad for November, I’m sending Weah and Amon to U20 Qualifying. Altidore didn’t dress midweek so he may be shutting it down for the season we’ll see. Don’t want to see Bradley but we likely will. If DC drop out I’d add Canouse.
GK: Horvath, Steffan, J.Klinsmann
Def: Moore, Yedlin, Robinson, Miazga, Brooks, Ream, CCV, Hines-Ike, Lichaj
MF: Green, McKennie, Pulisic, Hyndman, Morales, Acosta, Bradley
For: Wood, Sargent, Gall, Sabbi, Altidore
I racked my brain for another LB but all I could come up with in Europe was Lichaj. Marcel Costly could be a possibility on the right I don’t know if anyone has reached out to him. Gooch is a possibility as EPB.
Sabbi is back from injury and supposed to be dressing Hobro this week.
Sabbi started this weekend
