Joe Scally’s strong start to the German Bundesliga season helped him earn an international call up this month to the U.S. men’s national team, but Borussia Moenchengladbach will hope Scally can help lead the club past RB Leipzig on Saturday.
Scally has started all six of Gladbach’s league matches this season, going the distance in four of those six outings. The USMNT defender has continued to show off his versatility in Daniel Farke’s squad, featuring mainly as a right back in Gladbach’s 4-2-3-1 set up. Scally has totaled 40 appearances for Gladbach in all competitions since becoming a first-team regular season, being used on both sides of the backline. Only one point separates Gladbach and RB Leipzig in the top ten of the Bundesliga table, and both teams will be pushing for a strong ending to their September schedules before the two-week international break.
