"And the move hasn't arrived a moment too soon. The 22-year-old is in desperate need of a fresh start, plagued by injuries and inconsistency in the past four seasons, a series of events that has dramatically limited his opportunities for both club and country. Do Gladbach have a plan in place to keep the former prodigy fit and firing? Will Reyna get the minutes to make the World Cup?"
"First and foremost: Reyna needs to get on the field. With Dortmund, the American earned just 342 minutes in the previous Bundesliga season, and when including the 2024-25 UEFA Champions League, that total number is a meager tally of only 614 minutes in total for the young attacking midfielder. For reference, USMNT captain Christian Pulisic earned 3,119 minutes last season in both competitions for AC Milan."
Gio Reyna signed for Borussia Mönchengladbach at age 22 seeking a fresh start after four seasons marred by injuries and inconsistency. Limited playing time at Borussia Dortmund produced just 342 Bundesliga minutes last season and 614 minutes across the 2024-25 Bundesliga and UEFA Champions League combined, restricting development and national-team opportunities. Reyna remains technically gifted with strong short distribution and dribbling ability, but he must earn regular minutes to regain form. Current playing-time levels make a World Cup roster unlikely if selection occurred today. Gladbach must manage his fitness and provide consistent opportunities for revival.
