Americans Abroad Weekend Preview: Trusty, Robinson, and more

Soccer

Martin O’Neill’s Celtic squad remains in the hunt for a 56th all-time Premiership title and a victory over Glasgow rivals Rangers would set them up nicely to achieve that goal.

Auston Trusty has remained a stalwart in the Celtic backline this spring as the Hoops remain three points back of league-leading Hearts. Trusty has helped Celtic win its last five matches across all competitions, giving them a strong run of confidence ahead of the final stretch of the league campaign.

The 27-year-old has already equaled his appearance total from all of last season and could very well eclipse the 40-mark by May’s end. Trusty has rarely put a foot wrong over the last few months, leading by example on the defensive side of the field.

A victory for Celtic would keep them on the verge of potentially leapfrogging Hearts in the two clubs’ head-to-head showdown on May 16. However, a loss to Rangers could not only damage their title aspirations but also keep Danny Rohl’s men alive heading into the final week.

In England, Antonee Robinson and Tyler Adams go head-to-head in Premier League play. Brenden Aaronson and Leeds United close out the weekend at Tottenham. Aidan Morris and Middlesbrough take on Southampton in their promotion playoff first leg. Sam Coffey and Alyssa Thompson square off in Women’s FA Cup action.

In Germany, Joe Scally and Borussia Moenchengladbach take on Augsburg. Kevin Paredes and Wolfsburg host Bayern Munich. Damion Downs and Hamburg host Freiburg.

In Italy, Christian Pulisic seeks to end his goal-less drought when AC Milan hosts Atalanta. Weston McKennie and Juventus take a trip to Lecce seeking to hang onto their top-four spot.

In Spain, Johnny Cardoso and Atletico Madrid host Celta Vigo in La Liga action. Alex Freeman seeks to retain his starting spot when Villarreal visits Mallorca.

In France, Tim Weah and Marseille visit Le Havre while Mark McKenzie and Toulouse host Lyon. Lily Yohannes and Lyon take on Paris Saint-Germain in the Coupe De France Feminine Final.

Elsewhere, Alex Zendejas and Club America visit Pumas UNAM in the Liga MX Playoffs. Rokas Pukstas and Hajduk Split travel to Dinamo Zagreb. Bryan Reynolds and Westerlo take on Genk with a European spot still up for grabs. Erik Palmer-Brown and Panathinaikos visit AEK Athens in Greek Super League action. George Bello, Sam Adeniran and LASK take on Red Bull Salzburg with the league title race wide open.
