It may be late but your recap is here! Let’s take a look around the globe to check in on the pool of Americans who are playing in leagues around the world. We’ve got several on the score sheet this week, including some UEFA Champions League action. I’ve added an asterisk to those named to the latest USMNT roster.
The highs & lows from the Yanks Abroad:
Sweden
Romain Gall*
Gall got the start and scored the opener in the 65th minute of a 3-0 win over IFK Göteborg. He completed 75% of his passes with a key pass and three crosses from the LF/LW spot.
England
DeAndre Yedlin*
Yedlin put in a solid shift for Newcastle in their first win of the season, a 1-0 shutout of Watford. The right back has a couple nice tackles on the defensive end and added five clearances as well. He whipped in three crosses and finished with 78% passing on the day.
Tim Ream
He was on the bench, but did not appear for Fulham over the weekend, but Tim went 69 minutes against power house Manchester City in the EFL Cup. Guardiola’s men eliminated them by a final of 2-0.
Eric Lichaj
Hull City shutout West Brom 1-0 with Lichaj going all 90 at left back. He had four clearances, 76% passing, and one key pass.
Antonee Robinson*
Robinson played all 90 minutes as Wigan Athletic were defeated by Leeds United 2-1. He passed the ball pretty poorly at 53%, but was very active on defense. He won 9 out of 12 duels, had three clearances, and four interceptions.
Lynden Gooch
Gooch went 88 minutes in Sunderland’s 2-0 win over Plymouth.

Jann-Christopher George
The 26-year-old scored the lone goal for Jahn Regensburg in a 1-1 draw with Union Berlin. It was a truly gorgeous “shross” that floated into the upper 90. He was very busy all day with six crosses, three shots, and two key passes. VIDEO
John Anthony Brooks*
He went the full 90 for Wolfsburg in a 1-0 loss to BvB. He completed 84% of his passes, adding four clearances and two interceptions.
