Gio Reyna will miss 7-10 days after suffering a muscle strain on international duty, according to Borussia Dortmund head coach Edin Terzić.
Reyna was withdrawn after 30 minutes of the U.S. national team’s 0-0 draw with Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, with U.S. Soccer later saying that Reyna was removed from the game due to “muscle tightness.”
Terzić gave a relatively positive update on the 19-year-old, saying he’ll miss two matches but isn’t expected to be out much longer.
“Gio Reyna, Gregor Kobel, and Marco Reus will not be available to us yet [for Saturday’s game against FC Köln]. Gio has a strain and will be out for seven to 10 days,” Terzić told the media on Thursday.
“We hope that he’s available to us after the Sevilla game,” Terzić added on Reyna, referring to Wednesday’s Champions League match against the Spanish side.
Reyna missed a large portion of last season as he battled various muscle injuries, and has been slowly brought back into the fold by Dortmund in 2022-23.
The attacker has started to show glimpses of his huge potential as his minutes with Dortmund have increased. Earlier this month he became the first American to tally two Champions League assists in a game in a 3-0 win over FC Copenhagen.
