American midfielder Gio Reyna almost was sent home from the World Cup because of a lack of hustle in training, for which he later apologized
NEW YORK (AP) — American midfielder Gio Reyna almost was sent home from the World Cup because of a lack of hustle in training, for which he later apologized. U.S. coach Gregg Berhalter revealed the team's concerns about a player when he spoke last week at the HOW Institute for Society’s Summit on Moral Leadership in New York.
Reyna's comments came after Sunday's reports that he had to apologize to the U.S. team at the World Cup over his lack of effort in training.
Gio Reyna made just that one appearance through the Americans' first three games. But there are explanations why the talented player has mostly seen the bench.
