As we reach the home stretch in European leagues, some of our American youth are facing opportunities under high pressure situations.
Weston McKennie - Central Midfielder, Schalke 04
McKennie started on the bench against Hamburger SV on Saturday. Following a poor midfield performance in the first half, McKennie subbed on at halftime for Max Meyer to make his first appearance since March 9th due to a groin injury. Unfortunately, it was not the best performance from the midfielder. He was largely at fault for Hamburg’s second goal. He lost his runner who eventually scored to make it 2-1.
