Yunus Musah has continued to fight for starting minutes at La Liga side Valencia and will face another big test this weekend in league play.

Musah and Valencia host Barcelona on Sunday, looking to continue their quest up the league table. The U.S. men’s national team midfielder has made six starts in 2022 for Valencia, scoring against Atletico Madrid and also getting the nod against league leaders Real Madrid. Musah, 19, is blossoming into a top talent for the Spanish club and will hope to get another opportunity against fourth place Barcelona. Sunday’s showdown could see Musah pitted against USMNT teammate Sergino Dest, which could make for a mouthwatering affair at Mestalla this weekend.
