Americans Abroad Weekend Preview: Pulisic, McKennie, and more

Sixth meets seventh in Serie A play this weekend as a quartet of U.S. men’s national team stars aim to lead their clubs to three points.

Christian Pulisic, Yunus Musah and AC Milan face off with Weston McKennie, Tim Weah and Juventus. The Bianconeri sit six points out of the top-six heading into the showdown, while Juventus are holding onto the sixth place spot.

Pulisic and Weah have been riding good form of late, being impactful for their clubs in the final third. Pulisic has recorded five goals and four assists in Serie A play while Weah has scored in three of his last five appearances at club level.

McKennie and Musah played large roles during the recent international window and will be seeking to jump into the starting lineup. Both midfielders have made double-digit appearances across all competitions and will be seeking to add to those numbers at the San Siro.

It will be the first of two league meetings between the Rossoneri and Bianconeri this season.

In England, Antonee Robinson and Fulham host Wolves. Aidan Morris and Middlesbrough face Oxford United. Brenden Aaronson and Leeds United visit Swansea City.
