Americans Abroad Weekend Preview: McKennie, Ream, and more

Weston McKennie and Schalke face a tough task on Matchday 2 in the German Bundesliga.

After last week’s scoreless draw at Borussia Monchengladbach, Schalke plays host to Bayern Munich on Saturday in Gelsenkirchen. McKennie played 85 minutes last weekend in what proved to be a frustrating afternoon for the visitors. The 20-year-old will be expected to bounce back for Schalke as they face the defending league champions on home turf.

Elsewhere, Tim Ream and Fulham face Nottingham Forest at home in league play. Matt Miazga and Reading travel to Huddersfield Town, while Antonee Robinson and Geoff Cameron will go head-to-head. After a stellar performance in his Fortuna Dusseldorf debut, Zack Steffen will look to keep Bayer Leverkusen off the scoreboard this weekend.

Romain Gall and Malmo take on Djurgarden in Allsvenskan play, a quartet of American players will look to get on the pitch for Hobro in Denmark, and Christian Pulisic and Chelsea travel to Norwich City seeking their first win of the EPL season.

    • While I’m glad to see so many players abroad, It may be time to break the list into 2 articles. A report on 1st team players….listing everyone who’s made the Sr. Level for their clubs.
      The 2nd article/report would be for Youth players….Reserves & below.
      Hopefully this way people can keep up with those players who are potentially ready/worthy of USMNT call-up while also have a peak at what the future may hold.
