Could have been far worse.

Likely to be a boring weekend for YA if he and Pulisic don’t suit up. Hoping Weah gets some sub minutes.

 

How do you get a bruised knee in a supposed “non-contact” injury? Maybe that was just a rumor last night.

 

How does your knee bruise on no contact?

 

I know it was repeatedly said the injury was non-contact, but did he ever actually confirm that or was it just assumed and then took on a life of its own? He was optimistic right after the injury. Don't know if that would have occurred if it was actually a no-contact. The explanation may be that he banged it a while earlier but took a while for it to swell and feel pain thru the adrenaline, so at the point it was noticed, no foreign body was actually around him to explain his reaction.

 

Yeah, that is the likely case. Banged it but didn't notice at first, then started to bother him. It happens.

 

Good news:

🙏🙏🙏@WMckennie has been given the all clear!

"There are no issues with Weston. He had a slight knee problem, but it's not serious at all. He had an MRI scan yesterday and as far as the doctors are concerned, there's nothing wrong with him."#SchalkeUS🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/GkN7o5It1o

Not in the 18 gotta think it’s precautionary.

Surprised this hasn’t been mentioned but he’s playing in the wing.

There’s no limit to where Tedesco will play him.

If only there was a way to watch the game.

 

It's on Galavision.

 

Some crazy shit already- Naldo hand-ball called as a pk for Porto, but Telles' shot is saved

 

McKennie, after slightly misplaying a ball, gets a look at a shot from the top of the box, well-deflected for a corner.

 

Schalke is playing a 3-1-4-2 with Bentaleb in the -1-1 line. Weston is playing as a b-t-b CM next to Serdar in front of Betnaleb

 

You can purchase the game for $2.99 on B/R Live also if you didn't get the monthly/yearly pass.

 

Assist!

And what an assist. Perfect pass to Embolo, Wes could have shot but it was a hard one.

 

Beautiful. he's been the best on the field all half

 

A Mexican international lost the ball that lead to the counter. Sweet as it gets

Video of the assist

 

GOAL Schalke! Cover the whole field in three passes, including a one touch well placed assist across the 18 by Mckennie to Embolo!

 

The two of them did, first Tecate, then Herrera makes the crucial mistake.

 

• Good vision and a good pass by McKennie.
