It was a productive week for the stars of the U.S. men's national team, who compete across the globe at the club level.
A number of Americans found the net in Europe this weekend, while others contributed to clean sheets through standout defensive displays.
Whether or not they earned a spot in the USMNT's November camp for Concacaf Nations League action, every player in the pool was determined to perform and make their case to Mauricio Pochettino.
Here are the USMNT standouts who made their mark in Europe this weekend.

It has been a remarkable week for Jack McGlynn. After netting a goal and an assist against Preston North End on Halloween, the 23-year-old then broke the deadlock at Blackburn Rovers on Tuesday. The momentum continued over the weekend, with McGlynn leveling the score at Portsmouth as Stoke City claimed a third consecutive victory. The club also drew level on 29 points at the top of the EFL Championship table alongside Birmingham City and Middlesbrough.
McGlynn, now with five goals to his name this season, will return to the U.S. for the upcoming matches against Haiti as a late call-up replacing the injured Giovanni Reyna. It marks McGlynn's first international summons since September 2025, as well as his first since making the move from MLS to the EFL Championship — and it is well earned.
Alex Freeman Helps Villarreal Come Out on Top
Villarreal manager Iñigo Pérez has alternated between Alex Freeman and Santiago Mouriño at right back this season. So it came as little surprise that following a 6–0 thrashing by Paris Saint-Germain midweek, Freeman lost his starting berth for the clash against Getafe.
Even so, he left his mark on the game. After a goalless opening hour, Villarreal netted twice during the 30 minutes Freeman was on the field and also kept a clean sheet. The American fullback gave the Yellow Submarine an extra attacking outlet, pushing forward relentlessly and playing a key role in setting up the first goal. Whether in the starting XI or off the bench, he remains vital for Villarreal, who have climbed to eighth in La Liga.
Mark McKenzie Comes Up Big for Toulouse

With Tanner Tessmann assisting for Lyon in the UEFA Europa League, Giovanni Reyna scoring for Strasbourg and Timothy Weah captaining Marseille to a fifth straight victory, it's difficult to overlook an American from Ligue 1. Our spotlight falls on Toulouse defender Mark McKenzie, who is set to return to Philadelphia Union in January.
McKenzie was outstanding at the back for Toulouse over the weekend, registering five defensive actions and winning three of five duels. He also made his presence felt going forward, netting their second goal in a 3–1 triumph over Strasbourg. To top it all off, he received a last-minute call-up to fill in for the injured George Campbell in the USMNT's backline.

Tyler Adams keeps writing new chapters in Bournemouth's history books. On Thursday, he came off the bench to score the equalizer in a 3–1 victory over Sparta Prague, helping Bournemouth join Liverpool's 1964 side as the only teams to win their opening four matches in European competition.
On Sunday, he returned to the starting lineup at Ipswich Town and proved essential in midfield alongside Ryan Christie, contributing nine defensive actions, six ball recoveries, three interceptions and winning five of seven ground duels. Bournemouth have matched their club-record run of eight consecutive wins — with only PSG boasting a longer winning streak across Europe's top five leagues.
