“Joker” Gio Reyna pours cold water on Borussia Dortmund’s masterplan as USMNT forward forced to settle for another small Premier League cameo.
The USMNT forward got just 13 minutes to prove his worth to Nuno Espirito Santo against Fulham on Tuesday evening during Forest’s 3-1 win. All his league appearances in England have come from the bench which has cast a doubt on his future at Forest. However, this was not what Dortmund had envisioned when they engineered a loan move to Forest.
According to reports from SportBILD, Dortmund aspired to enhance Reyna’s market value with his loan stint at Forest. But his failure to secure substantial playing time in the Premier League has derailed Dortmund’s plan to recall him in the summer and potentially sell him at a lucrative price.
Reyna has played just 81 minutes across five appearances in the Premier League since his winter move. With Reyna’s return to Dortmund looming, the club is left to reassess their options, with the possibility of another loan move being considered to salvage the situation.
While there remains a glimmer of hope for Reyna to turn things around at Forest before the season concludes, the likelihood of a dramatic improvement seems slim given the current circumstances. Reyna will aim to emerge as a super sub when Forest face Tottenham on Sunday – thereby attempting to force his way into Santo’s plans at the business end of the season.
