A new hope in gladback
Reyna has long been awaited-and long out-for-long Borusia dortmundAnd landed with another Borusia, that Borusia Monchengladbak.
This step makes sense at various levels. Reyana will live in Germany, where she has played professionally since 2020, so there will be no cultural adaptation with which to struggle. And he will be with childhood friend Joe ScaliWith whom he was a team partner when he came through both New York City FC Academy.
Now the difficult part comes: reaching the field and avoiding the kind of injuries that have plagued him in the last few sessions.

‘JD’ return
Just call it the return of “JD”. Robinson made his long -awaited return to the field at the end of last week Manchester UnitedPut in a 28 -minute shift. This appearance for Robinson to help USMNT in the September window was too late, as he was left out of the roster of Maurisio Pochathino.
However, the decision is understood, as it will allow Robinson to manufacture on his fitness basis so that he can log in with Phulham and even more minutes when the league play resumes again at the end of this week. Chelsey,

Can Balogun catch Sergeant in the race for number 9 shirt?
Balogun covered Monaco’s 1-0 loss distance LilyLogging your first minutes of the season after recovering from a calf injury.
It was a disappointing afternoon, registering just one shot on the target, but hopefully it is not one-and-one situation for Balogun and he continues to look at the field. He proved himself enough Late call-up for USMNT for September windowHis last attendance took place on September 10, 2024, against New ZealandUnder the interim manager Mickey Varas, it was introduced only a few days after Pocheto.
Their ability to spread defense within the US pool of strikers is unique, but he will face strict competition to play with in-form Josh Sergeant,

Pocheto clearly has no time for this week’s in-form starting XI.
Four options were not called for the September window, although Robinson’s absence is understood. Midfield is the area that examines the most, and deepens Weston McCeniExclusion.

If Tesman and Morris are not called, it will be clear how far they have drowned from the depth chart of Pchethino.
Toolus guard Mark mcenzi Another surprise was an omission, as he was seen as a back -backup Tim rem And Chris richards At the center of US defense. Instead, Vancouver wheatcaps, Triston Blackmon And FC Ougsburg Possibility Noahkai Bank Was selected. McKenzie has struggled with continuity over wearing a US shirt, but has made a strong start with the French club. While the sample size is small, it has been part of a tooluz defense that has not yet been accepted.
Another aspect that explains the exclusion of Robinson is that Columbus crew‘S Max arfasten Fulham is the inside track to backup the defender. This is a thick growth John Tolcin,

There is an item to consider coming to the left position. Dest started in that role for PSV in a 4-2 win in the last weekend GroningenIf, for some reason, Robinson is not available, it may be that the pochtino opposed to slide the Dest and use one of their other right options.

Robinson may not catch just a brake. Although it may be that Pchethino set his heart to bring blackmon and banks, it is now a calf injury that saw Robinson recalled the last two matches, which gave him no chance.
