Americans Abroad Weekend Preview: Reynolds, Yow, and more

Westerlo missed out on European Football last season and will aim to get off to a winning start in Belgian league play this weekend.

Bryan Reynolds, Griffin Yow and the rest of their Westerlo teammates will kick off Pro League play on Sunday against Anderlecht. Both Reynolds and Yow have been linked with summer exits but remain on the squad heading into Matchday No. 1.

Reynolds, 24, made 37 league appearances last season, scoring one goal and adding three assists. The former FC Dallas defender has continued to play a large role at right back and remains in the running to start there again this season.

Yow, a former DC United product, scored eight goals and registered three assists in 33 league appearances. The 22-year-old has been on the radar of several European clubs this summer while Westerlo has already put a new contract on the table for Yow to sign.

Both players could very well be sporting different colors by summer’s end, however, for now they will aim for starting roles against Anderlecht.

Elsewhere in Belgium, Marlon Fossey and Standard Liege kick off their competitive schedule.

In Mexico, Alex Zendejas, Cade Cowell, and Richie Ledezma continue Liga MX action.
