There is, however, no doubting Reyna’s ability when clear of fitness problems, and he has been reiterating that point of late. Having put any differences with national team boss Gregg Berhalter to one side, the talented youngster bagged a brace for the United States in their recent 4-0 victory over Ghana.
DID YOU KNOW?
He had to make do with a place on the bench when returning to domestic action in Germany, but an impressive 28-minute cameo for Dortmund saw him help his club side to a 1-0 win over Werder Bremen – leading to him enjoying a “great Friday night” with team-mate Donyell Malen.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
Reyna has only seen 54 minutes of Bundesliga game time for Dortmund this season, after shaking off his latest knock, but he is enjoying his football again and will be hoping to add greater consistency to his game over the coming months as he steers clear of the treatment table.
