Borussia Dortmund: Gio Reyna suffers hamstring injury on international duty

Borussia Dortmund midfielder Gio Reyna has suffered a hamstring injury that will force him to miss the United States’ next two games. 

The USMNT has confirmed that Gio Reyna has suffered a right hamstring strain and will miss their next two games against Canada and Honduras as a result. The Borussia Dortmund midfielder played 90 minutes in the United States’ goalless draw with El Salvador on Thursday. But it has now been revealed that he suffered an injury during that game, and now faces a spell on the sidelines.

It remains to be seen how long Reyna will be out for at the moment. Borussia Dortmund will likely provide an update on his injury in the coming days.

Gio Reyna’s injury is a big blow for Borussia Dortmund, who have big games coming up in both the Bundesliga and the Champions League this month.

Reyna has established himself as a regular starter in midfield under Marco Rose. The USMNT international has started all five of the Black and Yellows’ games so far this season, and has two goals and one assist to his name.

Borussia Dortmund return to Bundesliga action on Saturday as they go up against Bayer Leverkusen. There were question marks over whether Gio Reyna would be available for that game, with the United States scheduled to play a World Cup qualifier against Honduras in Honduras just two days earlier. But now even though he will likely return to Dortmund earlier than expected, he may well be forced to miss the Leverkusen game due to injury.
