Americans Abroad Weekend Preview: Reyna, Pulisic, and more

8 Shares

The German domestic season gets underway this weekend and Giovanni Reyna will begin his next step with Borussia Dortmund.

Dortmund travels to Duisberg on Monday with Reyna aiming to start for Lucien Favre’s side against lower league opposition. Reyna excelled in preseason for the Bundesliga side, scoring in several friendlies and continuing his individual development ahead of his second senior season. The 17-year-old scored one goal and added one assist last season for Dortmund, debuting in three different competitions. With Jadon Sancho and Erling Haaland likely to lead the Dortmund line, Reyna will look to make the most of his opportunity on the field.

Elsewhere, Christian Pulisic and Chelsea open its Premier League campaign at Brighton & Hove Albion on Monday. John Brooks and Ulysses Llanez are also in German Cup play while Timothy Weah and Lille face Metz at home in France. Eredivisie play kicks off this weekend with Sergino Dest and Ajax facing a winnable opponent in Sparta Rotterdam. Tim Ream and Antonee Robinson will look to lead Fulham to an opening day with over London rivals Arsenal at Craven Cottage.

Eric Lichaj, Luca De La Torre, and Haji Wright all begin their respective seasons with new clubs.

Comments

  1. The hits just keep coming AJ with a goal for Hammarby, De la Torre with an assist. Weah played and Ajax LB got red carded so Dest played 50+ mins and will likely start the next match.

  2. Sargent scores, Konrad has one called back in preseason for Barca for offsides that couldn’t have been by more than a shoelace, Reggie scores for Boavista after just 21 minutes (just a friendly). I feel a season ending injury cloud looming over the remaining yanks this weekend is going to well!

  3. No Cappis this weekend because he got deported by the Danish government yesterday thanks to his club’s failure to file for his work permit extension.
    Hobro is also refusing to sell or release him so he’s basically going to lose at least half a season

  4. note: Siebatcheu will not feature for Rennes this weekend because he’s been demoted to their reserves as management continues their efforts to strong-arm him into abandoning his contract
