"Gio is a young guy who is talented. We cannot say that this guy or another needs to disappear because he didn't behave. We always need to give the chance. But at the same time, they need to show what we expect from them. Sometimes you can be surprised. Because people sometimes need to know what to do. Sometimes players behave badly because we [coaches], as leaders, didn't make clear what we expect."
"Reyna was a surprise inclusion for the game with Gustavo Alfaro's men and next week's test against Uruguay after failing to make an impact for his German club this season. The 22-year-old, whose career has been derailed by injuries, has failed to register a goal or assist for Monchengladbach this season and played just 146 minutes across all competitions. He hasn't played a full game since March 2022."
Gio Reyna earned a recall to the United States squad for friendlies against Paraguay and Uruguay despite limited club impact and ongoing injury problems. The 22-year-old has not registered a goal or assist for Borussia Monchengladbach this season and has played only 146 minutes across all competitions, without completing a full match since March 2022. Reyna made a 21-minute cameo for the US in March but has otherwise been out of national-team consideration. Coach Mauricio Pochettino emphasized giving opportunities while requiring players to demonstrate expected behaviour and performance. The US enter the Paraguay friendly on a three-match unbeaten run.
