Gio Reyna’s Strasbourg form brings regular football and renewed confidence

Gio Reyna scored Strasbourg’s opening goal against Paris Saint-Germain, a sign of the regular playing time and growing confidence that had long eluded him. After years of injuries and limited club minutes, he is starting to be judged more on his performances than on his potential.

Reyna has started eight consecutive games for club and country for the first time, with the run ending when Strasbourg rotated him after international duty. He has become a first-choice player in a young Strasbourg squad, and his role with the United States may also be easing as more young players emerge. At 23, he has time to build on this renewed momentum.
