Seldom-used Gio Reyna can help Team USA at the World Cup, coach Gregg Berhalter said Friday, adding that the 20-year-old midfielder's lack of playing time is due only to 'timing and circumstances.'
Reyna, the son of former US national team captain Claudio, made only one appearance in the group stage in Qatar, playing seven minutes in the 0-0 draw with England. The talented 20-year-old remained on the bench as the US tied Wales, 1-1, in the World Cup opener and as the Americans beat Iran, 1-0, in Tuesday's Group B finale.
Describing Reyna as a 'really talented player,' who can 'no doubt help this team,' Berhalter said he's waiting for 'the right moment' to use the Borussia Dortmund midfielder. That likely means Reyna will continue in his reserve role, but could be counted upon whenever Berhalter needs an offensive boost.
