Americans Abroad Weekend Preview: Pulisic, McKennie, and more

If Christian Pulisic and AC Milan want to stay in touching distance of first place in Serie A, a victory over AS Roma on Sunday will be needed.

Pulisic and his Rossoneri teammates will travel to the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday for what should be an entertaining top-four clash in Rome. The U.S. men’s national team star has chipped in 10 goals and two assists in Massimiliano Allegri’s squad this season, but overall has failed to find the back of the net in his last five matches.

Pulisic most recently played 78 minutes in a 3-1 victory over Lecce, a result that extended the Rossoneri’s unbeaten run to six matches. The 27-year-old will be expected to retain his starting role on Sunday, knowing that a road victory could boost AC Milan back behind rivals Inter for the top spot.

In Italy, Weston McKennie and Juventus take on Napoli in the second headlining contest of this weekend’s Serie A slate.

In England, Antonee Robinson and Fulham face off with Brighton & Hove Albion in EPL action. Brenden Aaronson and Leeds United visit Everton. Patrick Agyemang and Derby County host George Campbell and West Bromwich Albion.

In France, Tanner Tessmann and Lyon visit Metz in Ligue 1 play. Lily Yohannes and Lyon take on Marseille in Coupe De France action.

In Germany, James Sands and Damion Downs go head-to-head in Bundesliga play. Noahkai Banks and Augsburg face a tough test at Bayern Munich. John Tolkin and Holstein Kiel visit Mael Corboz and Arminia Bielefeld.

In Spain, Johnny Cardoso and Atletico Madrid face off with Mallorca in La Liga action.

  1. Adrian Gill leaving Barcelona for Atlanta United. Hope he can make his mark for Atlanta. Once a promising attack minded CM. Still young and can work his way into our Olympic team for 28.

    • Couldn’t get minutes in the Spanish 5th division. Hasn’t been with YNT since he did his knee three years ago. I see him in MLS Next Pro with ATL 2 not with first team.
