Overview
- In an AP interview, Reyna said he will not “take all the blame” for the 2022 World Cup fallout, framing the dispute as frustration over limited minutes.
- He left Borussia Dortmund for Borussia Mönchengladbach for the 2025–26 season to secure playing time and rebuild his case for selection.
- Recurring injuries and fitness setbacks have restricted him to roughly 120 minutes across four of eight Bundesliga matches this fall, and he has not completed a league 90 since March 2022.
- Reyna relayed Mauricio Pochettino’s message that only sustained playing time and performances at club level will merit a recall to the national team.
- Since Pochettino’s appointment, Reyna has been called up only once and has not featured in recent windows, increasing the urgency to prove himself in Germany.
