Goal brings you a look at the big storylines for Americans plying their trade outside of MLS.
The Bundesliga gets back in full swing this weekend, bringing with it a return to action for several of the United States' top players abroad.
Chief among them is Christian Pulisic, who continues to grow in stature and has quickly become the USA's leading light in Europe. The Dortmund winger, who won the Goal USA award for 2016, continued to shine during the team’s winter friendlies.
Dortmund will need to improve on its season showing to this point to get back into the fight for a Champions League place.
