Americans Abroad Weekend Preview: McKennie, Robinson, and more

Shares0Facebook Tweet Email

For the second straight match in the UEFA Champions League, U.S. Men’s National Team midfielder Weston McKennie has made an impact for Schalke. The 20-year-old scored the game-winning goal for the Bundesliga side as they edged Lokomotiv Moscow midweek for a 1-0 victory.

However, Schalke has struggled in league play and will seek a strong showing on Saturday on the road against Alfredo Morales and Fortuna Dusseldorf. McKennie has made four league appearances this season and will seek another impressive outing as Schalke look to get out of the bottom-three in Germany’s top-flight.

Elsewhere, Antonee Robinson and Wigan Athletic will try to snap a two-match scoreless drought in league play at Preston North End. DeAndre Yedlin and Newcastle United face a trip to Manchester United, while Tim Ream and Fulham host Arsenal in a London Derby.

Andrija Novakovich and Fortuna Sittard face FC Emmen in Eredivisie play, while Erik Palmer-Brown and NAC Breda travel to FC Utrecht. Bobby Wood will hope a start up top for Hannover in Bundesliga play, which is trying to snap a lengthy scoreless streak.
