    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Reyna has endured a difficult year, featuring briefly during a loan spell with Nottingham Forest and playing just nine minutes of the 2024-25 season before his injury. To add to his woes, he suffered a setback as he was nearing a return to action last month.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    Reyna went on to miss USMNT duty in October and November as Mauricio Pochettino's team advanced to the Concacaf Nations League semi-finals with a 5-2 aggregate win over Jamaica.
