Americans Abroad Weekend Rewind: Wright, Horvath, and more

1 Shares

A week ago saw 20-year-old Haji Wright earn his first career Bundesliga minutes for Schalke in a home rout. Saturday saw Wright follow-up his debut with a 70-minute start in his side’s 1-1 road draw at Hoffenheim.

The former New York Cosmos striker started in a two-forward attack for Schalke, and earned valuable minutes for a team needing a spark up front. Wright won two duels and made one successful tackle, but was unable to get a shot on target in the match. He was later replaced by U.S. compatriot Weston McKennie who was returning from injury. Although a quiet performance, Wright will certainly get more cracks for Schalke who are four points from the top-half of the Bundesliga table.

Elsewhere, Ethan Horvath posted another clean sheet for Club Brugge in a 3-0 home success. Bobby Wood earned another start for Hannover but was unable to help his side to a win at home, while Christian Pulisic missed Borussia Dortmund’s win due to a calf injury.

DeAndre Yedlin and Newcastle fell 3-0 at home to West Ham United while Tim Ream remained a spectator for Fulham. Eric Lichaj left Hull City’s road win in London due to a calf injury. Cameron Carter-Vickers, Erik Palmer-Brown, and Geoff Cameron all earned starts for their respective clubs.

  1. Disappointed in Wright. Not because I expected much from him, but because I thought he could have done more. He was basically invisible. If I were him, I would have been doing everything possible to impress. At the least he could have been running around more and trying to get more involved in the play. Yes, I understand that maybe he was following manager’s instructions, but it just looked to me almost like a lack of effort.
