Gio Reyna could play under Berhalter for the first time even after feud between parents when USA faces Germany

The Hindu  

Gio Reyna could play his first match under Gregg Berhalter since their family feud began 11 months ago, though the U.S. coach did not detail the midfielder’s exact role in Saturday’s game against Germany. Reyna played wide midfield under Berhalter during the the coach’s first term and could be used there or in a more central midfield role. “For us, it’s interesting just to see over these next three years how these roles can develop.” Asked whether Reyna will start, Berhalter didn’t give a direct answer. We’re aware of his game time in these last months.” Germany will be playing its first match since Julian Nagelsmann replaced Hansi Flick as coach.
