Americans Abroad: Pulisic gets new opportunity and Novakovich makes loan count

Injuries and dips in form have given the teen a chance to reclaim his spot in the XI while the 21-year-old forward earned a national team call up

Christian Pulisic needed to respond after a dip in form cost him his place in the Borussia Dortmund XI, and at the very least, he’s done so on the statsheet.

Pulisic picked up an assist in a substitute appearance in the first leg Europa League defeat to Red Bull Salzburg, and then got another in a start against Eintracht Frankfurt. He missed the second leg with Salzburg due to the flu but got the start again this weekend in a 1-0 victory over Hannover, going 70 minutes.
