Americans Abroad Midweek Preview: Ledezma, Weah, and more

PSV’s league form has been streaky to say the least but the reigning Eredivisie champions are a favorite to bring home the KNVB Cup this spring.

Richie Ledezma is the only healthy American player in the PSV squad heading into Wednesday’s semifinal showdown with Go Ahead Eagles. Ledezma, 24, has delivered a stellar season to date, logging 27 appearances and one goal. The attacker-turned-fullback has set a career high in appearances this season, featuring in four different competitions.

Ledezma will hope his impressive turnaround at club level earns him a March inclusion into the U.S. men’s national team. First though, he has six matches to focus on, including a UEFA Champions League Round of 16 series with Arsenal.

In England, Tyler Adams and Chris Richards headline the American contingent in Premier League action.

In Italy, Tim Weah and Juventus take on Empoli. Yunus Musah and AC Milan visit Bologna.

In Mexico, Liga MX play continues with Cade Cowell and Frankie Amaya seeking minutes.
