Reyna was the standout player for the USMNT in October, but continues to struggle for playing time in Dortmund
In just 39 minutes, Gio Reyna demonstrated the player he could still become for the US men’s national team, scoring two goals in a 4-0 friendly demolition of Ghana. Folarin Balogun and Christian Pulisic also found the back of the net for a team often hailed as a golden generation, but it was Reyna’s performance that provided the most tantalising of visions.
The reminder of Reyna’s talent was timely. The 20-year-old has barely featured for Borussia Dortmund this season, playing just 111 minutes across all competitions. Once seen as the Bundesliga club’s next superstar-in-waiting after the likes of Erling Haaland, Jude Bellingham and Jadon Sancho, Reyna’s development has dramatically stalled.
