USMNT star Gio Reyna earns ‘brilliant’ assessment after return from injury at Borussia Dortmund – with England U21 international delighted to have ‘brother’ back

Bundesliga

Borussia Moenchengladbach

Borussia Dortmund

<p>The United States international, who has endured plenty of misfortune on the fitness front over the course of his career, suffered his latest setback in September when picking up a groin complaint when away with his country.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Reyna’s patience and persistence are now being rewarded, though, with the 22-year-old playmaker stepping off the bench for BVB in their crushing 4-0 victory over Freiburg. He was given 12 minutes of game time in the second half of that contest.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Dortmund boss Nuri Sahin has told reporters of Reyna earning another opportunity to prove his worth, alongside the rest of those that are working their way back from untimely knocks: “We're happy that they're [injured players] back, that we can bring them on, that they're in training. Gio trained brilliantly this week. It's important to get training minutes and, if possible, to get as many minutes as possible into the legs. I'm glad they're all back and I'm waiting for the others [to return].”</p>

WHAT SAHIN SAID

<p>Sahin is not the only one happy see Reyna playing again, with England U21 international Jamie Bynoe-Gittens sending a “my brother is back” message on social media – with Reyna returning his love to a club colleague.</p><picture><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt0f74d4f965e7180a/Reyna%20Gittens.jpg?format=webp" type="image/webp"><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt0f74d4f965e7180a/Reyna%20Gittens.jpg?format=jpg" type="image/jpeg"><img src="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt0f74d4f965e7180a/Reyna%20Gittens.jpg?format=jpg" alt="Gio Reyna Gittens comeback message" data-source="Instagram" data-copyright="Instagram" data-portal-copyright="Instagram" perform:prop="uuid:blt0f74d4f965e7180a;width:403;height:716"></picture>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Reyna has made just two appearances this season, totalling 21 minutes, but will be hoping to figure more prominently from this point. There was talk of him leaving Dortmund over the summer, and another transfer window - full of rumour and conjecture - will swing open in January.</p>
