U.S. men’s national team and Schalke defender/midfielder Weston McKennie was stretchered off the field during his team's 1-0 Bundesliga win against Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday with an apparent shoulder injury.
The incident occurred less than 10 minutes into the contest when McKennie—one of the USMNT's top players—went up for a header with Frankfurt forward Bas Dost. Dost's left arm appeared to contact McKennie, causing the young American to lose balance on the way down and land awkwardly on his left shoulder.
He remained on the ground for more than two minutes before being stretchered off by paramedics.
