Overview

  • Reyna, 22, joined from Borussia Dortmund in a late-window move that sporting director Roland Virkus called a “special transfer.”
  • He did not play in the 0-0 opener against Hamburger SV, observing from the stands after completing individual training before the match.
  • Coaches are considering him for Saturday’s trip to VfB Stuttgart, with availability dependent on fitness and selection.
  • Virkus and coach Gerardo Seoane emphasize his versatility across the No. 10 role, the wings, and as a second striker, raising competition in attack.
  • The club acknowledges his recent injury history and drop in market value, while local reports describe the fee as a cut‑price figure of about €3 million.
