WEEKEND WRAP: Sunday 1/24/2016

Sunday's Weekend Wrap report has some action and quite a few no shows due to injuries. We do have a goal, gratefully we managed the day without any cards. Germany's leagues are re-starting, Finland has begun its (pre-season) cup games, although today we had no US players participating.
Here we go.....

Marc Heider, no goal today

Marc Heider started for Kiel, went 65 minutes as Kiel lost 2 - 1 to Bremen II in Germany's 3Liga

Tim Howard, Back in goal for Everton, as they lose 1 - 2 to Swansea in the EPL. Not a particularly good performance, although the goals were mostly defensive let downs, even the penalty that Tim gave up (IMHO I am not totally convinced it should have been given)

Dylan Alexis Romney, one of only a handful US players in Italy

Dylan Alexis Romney, on the bench for Savona, in Italy's Lega Pro (Group B) as they beat Maceratese 4 - 2

Timothy Chandler, did not dress, for Frankfurt

Ryan Malone, did not dress, for Magdeburg

Aaron Jóhannsson did not dress for Bremen, injured.

Rubio Ruben, did not dress for Utrecht, injured.

Jordan Siebatcheu started for Reims in France Ligue 1, as they took on St. Etienne.
Jordan left the game at the 32 minute mark, which probably indicates an injury
(looking for match report). Final  Reims  1  -  1 St Etienne
Jordan was injured during the game according to Ligue 1 site, no info of severity.

Christian Pulisic started for Dortmund in a friendly with Union Berlin
SCORED Dortmund's first goal as they went on to beat Union Berlin 1 - 3
(Christian was dressed yesterday for the Bundesliga game v M'Gladbach, he did not
play - so I guess Dortmund's coach decided to start him today - can't say I've seen
that before) This is Christian's 2nd goal this month.

Kenny Seif stayed on the bench for Gent, in Belgium's Jupiler League victory at Standard Liege 0 - 3. With the win Gent extended their lead atop of the Jupiler to 5 points.
