McKennie, who suffered a bone bruise against Bayern Munich on Sept. 22, returned to action a week later as a substitute vs. Mainz. He went the distance Wednesday–and Schalke needed every minute of it.

McKennie will be part of the USA's squad that will face Colombia and Peru in friendlies on Oct. 11 and 16, respectively.
