Americans Abroad Weekend Preview: Pulisic, Yedlin, and more

The English Premier League is back in full swing this weekend with Christian Pulisic aiming to jump right into Frank Lampard’s starting lineup.

Pulisic is back fit for the Blues after an adductor injury which kept him out of action since New Years Day. The 21-year-old midfielder appeared in a pair of recent friendlies for Chelsea, but will now have his first crack at first-team competitive action. Pulisic has scored six goals and registered six assists in 22 matches across all competitions. His return should give Lampard another attacking element in the Blues attack as the club fights for the top-four finish. Pulisic played 86 minutes in Chelsea’s 2-1 win over Aston Villa back in December and will look for his first goal since November in all competitions.

Elsewhere, DeAndre Yedlin and Newcastle United take on Sheffield United at St. James Park in their first match back on Sunday. Tim Ream and Fulham face a home West London Derby date with Brentford in the EFL Championship’s return while Tyler Adams and RB Leipzig take on second place Borussia Dortmund in Bundesliga play. Romain Gall also continues his loan spell at Norwegian side Stabaek.
