USMNT's Reyna Likely Out Until After International Break

Borussia Dortmund's latest update isn't one that bodes well for the U.S. men's national team.

Gio Reyna probably won't play for Borussia Dortmund until after the international break, making it unlikely he will make the roster for the United States' next three World Cup qualifiers.

Reyna has not played in any games since injuring his right hamstring during the Americans’ opening qualifier at El Salvador on Sept. 2. Dortmund coach Marco Rose said Monday the club was aiming for the 19-year-old midfielder to be available after the international break.

Dortmund plays St. Pauli in the German Cup on Tuesday and Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga on Saturday, then resumes against Bayer Leverkusen on Feb. 6.

🎙 Marco Rose:

“Gio Reyna is on the right track overall, but of course he has lost sharpness over time. We have to get him ready and fit to play. Without wanting to promise too much, let's aim for the break after #TSGBVB to get him fully fit again.” pic.twitter.com/VQSA6H50MO
