U.S. men’s national team star midfielder Gio Reyna suffered an injury on Friday afternoon, grimacing in pain while calling for a substitution in the 70th minute of Strasbourg’s regular season match against French Ligue 1 foe Toulouse. He will miss the upcoming November international window, with Mauricio Pochettino’s men set to reconvene stateside on Monday ahead of Concacaf Nations League competition.
Reyna endured a chaotic sequence. Just three minutes prior to his injury, the 23-year-old had darted into the final third, battling multiple Toulouse defenders and the day’s intense fog to combine with a Strasbourg teammate for a quick give-and-go. Reyna was then at the ready when an overwhelmed Toulouse midfielder spilled a pass straight into the 18-yard box. The American snuck onto the end of it and fired an easy shot into the net.
