U.S. national team midfielder Weston McKennie says he is "fired up" for the new Bundesliga season as he is expected to take on an even bigger role with Schalke.
McKennie broke through at Schalke during the 2017-18 campaign, making 25 appearances, and remained a regular fixture last season with 33 appearances and two goals across all competitions.
Despite a frustrating campaign in which Schalke finished 14th, it was a strong season on a personal level for McKennie, who cemented himself as a fixture with the USMNT in the lead up to and during this summer's Gold Cup.
