A rough week for most Americans Abroad got even rougher Sunday as highly-regarded teenager Weston McKennie came off with an injury in Schalke's 1-1 draw with Hannover.
McKennie did not start the contest, entering the proceedings for Bayern-bound Leon Goretzka in the 63rd minute. He would last less than a half hour on the field, as he collided with Hannover's Felix Klaus, banging knees. While McKennie would try to play through it, he would quickly be forced off in the 83rd minute.
The midfielder headed for further tests with Schalke announcing Monday he had sustained a partial tear of his MCL.
