Weah Captains Marseille in Season Opener

USMNT winger Tim Weah, who completed his permanent transfer to Marseille in June, wore the captain's armband in his new team's season-opening match against Strasbourg. Weah started at right back and played the full 90 minutes in the convincing win.

Another American player, Gio Reyna, appeared as a substitute for Strasbourg, playing 21 minutes against his former national team teammate. The transfer of both USMNT players to their respective clubs adds to the growing American presence in European football. rocore.sbs
