The U.S. men\u2019s national team striker missed over two months through injury but is back and ready to play a role in Norwich\u2019s promotion chase. <\/p>\n<p>Aaronson has remained an important player in Daniel Farke\u2019s squad this season, logging seven goals and two assists in EFL Championship action. The USMNT midfielder recently logged 89 minutes in Leeds\u2019 3-0 victory over Sheffield Wednesday. However, a slight ankle knock forced Aaronson off the pitch before the final whistle and Farke confirmed he might be a game-time decision. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt looked okay today,\u201d Farke told reporters. \u201cHe got a hit against his ankle. It will be a late call with him. Nothing major so far to confirm, but a late decision if he is available or not. Carefully optimistic, but it still will be a late decision.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Leeds United won two of its four head-to-head meetings with Norwich City last season including eliminating the Canaries from the promotion playoffs. <\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, <strong>Weston McKennie<\/strong> and Juventus visit Club Brugge. <strong>Ricardo Pepi <\/strong>and PSV take on Red Star Belgrade. <strong>Tanner Tessmann <\/strong>and Lyon visit Fenerbahce. <\/p>\n<p>Here is a closer look at this week\u2019s Americans Abroad<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>Europe<\/h3>\n<hr>\n<h2>Soccer UEFA Champions League<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Weston<\/strong> <strong>McKennie<\/strong>, <strong>Tim Weah<\/strong> and Juventus visit Club Brugge on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ricardo<\/strong> <strong>Pepi<\/strong>, <strong>Richie<\/strong> <strong>Ledezma<\/strong> and PSV visit Red Star Belgrade on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Yunus<\/strong> <strong>Musah<\/strong> and AC Milan host Girona on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cameron Carter-Vickers<\/strong>, <strong>Auston<\/strong> <strong>Trusty<\/strong> and Celtic host Young Boys on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gio<\/strong> <strong>Reyna<\/strong>, <strong>Cole Campbell<\/strong> and Borussia Dortmund visit Bologna on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Christian<\/strong> <strong>Pulisic<\/strong> is OUT (Injury) for AC Milan.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Folarin Balogun<\/strong> is OUT (Injury) for AS Monaco.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Malik<\/strong> <strong>Tillman<\/strong> is OUT (Injury) for PSV.<\/p>\n<h2>Soccer UEFA Europa League<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Tanner Tessmann <\/strong>and Lyon visit Fenerbahce on Thursday. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Timmy Chandler<\/strong> and Eintracht Frankfurt host Ferencvaros on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jonathan Gomez <\/strong>and PAOK Salonika host Slavia Prague on Thursday.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>England<\/h3>\n<hr>\n<h2>Soccer Championship<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Josh Sargent<\/strong> and Norwich City visit <strong>Brenden Aaronson <\/strong>and Leeds United on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Luca Koleosho<\/strong> and Burnley visit Plymouth Argyle on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Duane Holmes\u00a0<\/strong>and Preston North End visit Watford on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ethan Horvath<\/strong> and Cardiff City visit Millwall on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lynden\u00a0Gooch<\/strong>\u00a0and Stoke City visit Portsmouth on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Haji Wright<\/strong> is OUT (Ankle Injury) for Coventry City. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Aidan Morris<\/strong> is OUT (Ankle Injury) for Middlesbrough.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Daryl Dike<\/strong> is OUT (Injury) for West Bromwich Albion.<\/p>\n<h2>Soccer Women\u2019s League Cup<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Catarina Macario<\/strong> and Chelsea host Durham Women FC on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Emily Fox<\/strong> and Arsenal visit Brighton &#038; Hove Albion on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Phallon Tullis-Joyce<\/strong> and Manchester United host Manchester City on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mia Fishel <\/strong>is OUT (Injury) for Chelsea.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/main>\n\t<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sbisoccer.com\/2025\/01\/americans-abroad-midweek-preview-sargent-faces-aaronson-and-more\" class=\"button purchase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a>Larry Henry Jr<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Soccer Two of the EFL Championship promotion chasers will meet midweek at Carrow Road.
