Borussia Dortmund’s Giovanni Reyna to Miss 2025 Season Due to Injury Setback
Borussia Dortmund star Giovanni Reyna is set to miss the entire 2025 season after suffering a significant injury setback. The U.S. international, known for his explosive pace and creativity, has been a key player for Dortmund since joining the club in 2019. However, the 21-year-old will now face a lengthy recovery period following a serious injury sustained during training earlier this month.
Reyna, who had shown promise in the 2024/25 campaign, was expected to play a vital role for Dortmund both domestically and in European competitions. His absence leaves a gap in the squad, with coach Edin Terzić now tasked with finding a replacement for one of the team’s brightest attacking talents.
The nature of Reyna’s injury has not been fully disclosed, but sources within the club suggest that it is a severe muscle tear that requires extensive rehabilitation. Dortmund’s medical team has indicated that the player will undergo surgery in the coming weeks, followed by months of recovery. As a result, Reyna is unlikely to return to competitive action until the 2026 season, marking a devastating blow to his career at a time when he was gaining momentum.
This injury comes as a huge disappointment not only for Reyna but also for the U.S. Men’s National Team (USMNT), who had been hoping for his continued development leading up to major international tournaments. Reyna’s flair and versatility had made him a crucial part of the national team’s plans for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers.
Borussia Dortmund management expressed their full support for Reyna and emphasized their commitment to his recovery. They also reassured fans that the club will continue to strengthen its squad and explore other options to cover the attacking void left by the American forward.
For now, the Dortmund faithful will have to wait for Reyna’s return, but his resilience and determination are expected to see him bounce back stronger in the future.
