A 17-year-old fresh off the U-17 World Cup impressed so much in winter camp with Borussia Dortmund that he has been promoted to the first team. Stop me if you’ve heard this story before. The similarities between what Christian Pulisic did in the 2016-2017 season and what Giovani Reyna is doing now are astounding. Both were present for unimpressive group stage showings at the U-17 World Cup and both had been at Dortmund the same amount of time.
Today in his press conference ahead of Saturday’s clash with FC Augsburg, Borussia Dortmund head coach Lucien Favre said that Gio Reyna will definitely be in the squad.
