Gio Reyna is still not expected to return to the Borussia Dortmund squad anytime soon, his head coach Marco Rose stated last Friday, “It’s really not foreseeable for me when (Reyna) will be back in training with the team, I have to be honest,” Rose said. “But we hope that will happen before the end of this year.”
In Reyna’s place Gregg Berhalter will have Sebastian Lletget, Gianluca Busio, and Yunus Musah depending on how the coach lines up the team.
