Reyna's injury clears the way for McGlynn's Nations League debut

Gio Reyna suffered a thigh injury moments after scoring for French club Strasbourg on Friday.

He withdrew from the U.S men's national team's training camp and CONCACAF Nations League matches.

Jack McGlynn was called up on Saturday to replace him.

Reyna had been a pivotal figure in the U.S sweep of four friendlies earlier this fall.

He scored in the 67th minute, his third league goal in ten matches, during Strasbourg's 3‑1 loss at Toulouse.

Three minutes later he left the field with a thigh injury.

He was expected to play a major role in central midfield in the Nations League quarter‑final against Haiti.

The camp opens Monday near Atlanta, with the first leg in Miami on Saturday and the deciding game on 17 November in Cincinnati.

His absence will increase responsibility for Malik Tillman and Sebastian Berhalter.

McGlynn earns first call‑up

In his first season abroad, 23‑year‑old Jack McGlynn has become a fixture on the right wing for Stoke City.

Stoke City sit level on 29 points at the top of the England Championship with Birmingham City and Middlesbrough, holding a 9‑4‑2 record.

Shortly before his call‑up, McGlynn scored for the third straight match as Stoke beat Portsmouth 2‑1.

He has five goals and two assists in the past nine games.

The five goals are one short of his career high set in 2025 with the Houston Dynamo.

The Queens native moved to Stoke in September after almost two seasons in Houston and four with the Philadelphia Union.

He has two goals and two assists in 13 U.S senior appearances and featured for the under‑23 side at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

McGlynn's call‑up came a day after Toulouse centre back Mark McKenzie replaced West Brom captain George Campbell, who is nursing a groin injury.

The 27‑year‑old McKenzie, a World Cup squad member last summer, missed the four friendlies in September and October.

He was summoned by U.S coach Mauricio Pochettino hours before scoring his first goal for club or country since February 2025.
