VIDEO: Gio Reyna is pumped! USMNT star flies into tackles & produces clever flick during training – with Premier League loan flop desperate to earn Copa America chance

The 21-year-old has plenty to prove this summer after enduring a forgettable loan spell in the Premier League at Nottingham Forest. With game time proving to be in short supply there, parent club Borussia Dortmund have a big decision to make on the playmaker’s future.

While things have not been going well for Reyna at club level, he has continued to impress for his country – with an important role played in the United States’ CONCACAF Nations League triumph. He now has the opportunity to chase down continental glory, before potentially figuring at the Olympic Games in Paris.

Reyna is desperate to prove his worth to Gregg Berhalter and the USMNT coaching team, with every ounce of effort being put into pre-Copa training sessions. International team-mate Brenden Aaronson found that out the hard way after being on the receiving end of one full-blooded challenge.

The United States are counting down the days to a major tournament on home soil, with their Copa America campaign due to get underway against Bolivia on June 23. They will be competing with the likes of Lionel Messi’s Argentina and a star-studded Brazil squad that includes Champions League winner and Ballon d’Or contender Vinicius Junior for the ultimate prize.
