DeAndre Yedlin returned to action over the weekend, helping Galatasaray beat Super Lïg-leading Besiktas, 3-1. The win moved Galatasaray to within three points of the lead and just one point out of the second Champions League spot with two matches left to play.
As recently as a month ago, Yedlin’s future looked far less clear. On April 10, he suffered a nasty-looking injury that his coach suggested might be a broken bone. Not only was there a seemingly good chance that Yedlin would miss the rest of the season, but there was concern he could also miss out on a busy stretch for the United States men’s national team.
