Americans Abroad Weekend Preview: Dest, Yedlin, and more

After being eliminated from the UEFA Champions League, Sergino Dest and Ajax turn their attentions back towards Eredivisie action this weekend.

The 19-year-old defender will aim to make his 14th league appearance of the season as Ajax take on second place AZ Alkmaar on Sunday. Dest is coming off a 45-minute performance midweek in a 1-0 home loss to Valencia, a defeat which dropped Ajax into the Europa League Round of 32.

Dest has recorded four assists in league play this campaign, while continuing to develop as a first-team player. After a 2-0 loss to Willem II last weekend, Ajax will begin to feel pressure if they suffer a third straight defeat in a week span.

Elsewhere, DeAndre Yedlin aims to earn his starting spot back for Newcastle United against Burnley on Saturday. Weston McKennie and Schalke welcome Eintracht Frankfurt to town in Bundesliga play, while John Brooks and Wolfsburg take on Borussia Monchengladbach. Christian Pulisic and Chelsea look to keep pace in the Premier League as they host Bournemouth in London. Chris Durkin will aim for his second-consecutive league start on loan at Sint-Truiden.
