Gio Reyna Accepts USMNT September Omission, Eyes Reset at Borussia Mönchengladbach

He says regular minutes at Mönchengladbach will rebuild his case for selection.

Overview

  • Mauricio Pochettino left Reyna off the roster for September friendlies, and Reyna said he understands given his lack of preseason action and match minutes.
  • The 22-year-old completed a move from Borussia Dortmund to Borussia Mönchengladbach to secure consistent playing time and revive his national-team prospects ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
  • He logged only 614 minutes in all competitions last season for Dortmund and was largely used as a substitute, according to ESPN.
  • Reyna was in the Nations League finals squad in March but barely featured, and he missed the Gold Cup while with Dortmund’s Club World Cup squad.
  • The United States plays South Korea on Sept. 6 and Japan on Sept. 9, and Gladbach teammate Joe Scally said Reyna can add creativity and physical presence at the club.
