What needs to happen before USMNT star Gio Reyna ‘blows up’ – with Nottingham Forest team-mate Matt Turner seeing plenty to get excited about in frustrating loan spell

Premier League

Nottingham Forest

The 21-year-old playmaker has endured a frustrating time at the City Ground on the back of his <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/usmnt-gio-reyna-wrong-transfer-decision-premier-league-relegation-battle-nottingham-forest/blt5a7a8be02e907765" target="_blank">loan move from Borussia Dortmund</a> in the winter transfer window. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/gio-reyna-back-usmnt-star-returns-nottingham-forest-training-minutes-crucial-premier-league-relegation-battle-luton/bltaddf102fb1ac06d0" target="_blank">Injuries have held Reyna back</a> at times, but he has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/stop-making-excuses-gio-usmnt-star-reyna-warning-americans-bend-over-backwards-nottingham-forest-loan/blt4f2eed8f8170504a" target="_blank">seen just 39 minutes of action</a> across four substitute appearances.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Reyna is in danger of flopping in England as Forest bid to avoid relegation out of the Premier League. He may <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/can-gio-reyna-do-weston-mckennie-usmnt-star-told-why-struggle-emulate-juventus-midfielder-borussia-dortmund-nottingham-forest-loan/bltadef802ec5f88d2c" target="_blank">return to Germany in the summer</a> with more questions being asked of his future and ability to deliver on lofty expectations.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Turner claims to have no concerns in that department, with the USMNT goalkeeper – who <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/revealed-when-usmnt-star-matt-turner-sort-out-club-future-dropped-nottingham-forest/blte36349b580358890" target="_blank">faces his own problems at Forest</a> - telling the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-13220665/TIM-HOWARD-meets-MATT-TURNER-Legendary-goalkeeper-current-USMNT-No-1-discuss-World-Cup-dreams-genius-Mikel-Arteta-nearly-turned-America.html " target="_blank">Daily Mail</a> of a countryman that he keeps a close eye on in training: “I watch him train every day and I see such a smart and gifted player. I know that he could help our national team a ton… I think it's a matter of time with him finding a perfect scenario before he really blows up.”

WHAT TURNER SAID ABOUT REYNA

Forest do not look like being the “perfect scenario” for Reyna, as they cannot afford to take risks in a thrilling basement battle. Another move may be on the cards this summer, with Reyna hoping to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/explained-what-usmnt-need-go-through-roof-zach-steffen-reacts-bench-duty-gio-reyna-matt-turner-tim-weah-ricardo-pepi/blt737012b31c38dd31 " target="_blank">savour CONCACAF Nations League glory with his country</a> before then going on to form part of Copa America plans.
