Austria Wien kicked off life back in Bundesliga action with a 1-0 midweek return in its return to league play.
U.S. Under-23 Men’s National Team defender Erik Palmer-Brown started and went the distance for Wien, helping to a clean sheet at home. Palmer-Brown has made 16 appearances for the club this season, on-loan from EPL giants Manchester City. The 23-year-old has impressed in Austria, but should face a tough test this weekend against SKN St. Poelten. Philadelphia Union loanee Cory Burke bagged a hat trick in a 4-1 road win for Poelten midweek and should provide a good test for Palmer-Brown on Saturday.
Elsewhere, Josh Sargent and John Brooks go head-to-head in Bundesliga action in what is a must-win for Werder Bremen at home. Weston McKennie and Schalke travel to Union Berlin on Sunday looking to end a horrid winless run. Chris Richards will look to continue starting in Bayern Munich II’s backline while Jesse Marsch’s Red Bull Salzburg travel to Hartberg on Sunday in Austria.

“Larry Henry”
Junior.
If there’s talent in this family of Henry’s, I’m just not seeing it
I can tell you that I sat on the toilet here and laughed, and laughed. I now exhale, laugh at you just a bit more, and wipe.
Larry Henry, junior, ladies and gentlemen.
