GOAL looks at the biggest storylines among Americans Abroad, with Reyna and Yunus Musah looking to debut with new clubs

And just like that, we’re back. After two weeks of drama with the U.S. men’s national team, several stars return to their clubs in Europe. The spotlight and pressure is back on, with several important fixtures for Americans. 

Gio Reyna spent the last two years fighting through uncertainty with his club in Dortmund. After his transfer, this weekend could mark his debut as a member of Gladbach, who host Werder Bremen.

In Spain, Johnny Cardoso could be a man on a mission when Atletico face off against Villarreal. With USMNT manager Mauricio Pochettino stressing that his “real” squad and strategy will surface in October friendlies, Cardoso will want to send a message that he belongs.

And Christian Pulisic returns to AC Milan to face Bologna after a strong performance against Japan in the USMNT’s 2-0 win earlier this week.
