Giovanni Reyna leaves the pitch in tears during Borussia Dortmund’s game at VfB Stuttgart on Friday (April 8, 2022) after being substituted due to injury in the 2nd minute of the game.
Borussia Dortmund continues to be haunted by bad luck with injuries. After offensive jewel Giovanni Reyna had to leave the field in tears on Friday (April 8, 2022), BVB has now announced the end of the season.
Borussia Dortmund’s bad luck with injuries this season continues. After offensive jewel Giovanni Reyna (19) injured himself in BVB’s Friday game at VfB Stuttgart (2-0) on April 8, 2022 in the second minute of the game, the worst fears of black and yellow were confirmed.
The American trotted into the catacombs in tears on Friday and probably already knew what he was about to face. BVB announced its end of the season on Sunday (April 10, 2022) due to a muscle and tendon injury.
After Reyna’s season-out: Hummels and Dahoud are also out
But that’s not all! Defense chief Mats Hummels (33) will also not be available to BVB for several weeks due to a muscle injury in his thigh. Midfielder Mo Dahoud (26) suffered a shoulder injury and will undergo further tests in the coming days.
Even before the departure, the Dutch national player Donyell Malen (23) pulled a tendon in training and was unable to play for the Swabians.
Giovanni Reyna substituted again with tears in his eyes
During the first sprint over the right flank, Reyna immediately noticed after just 52 seconds with a lunge: It couldn’t go any further. He stopped, briefly held his thigh and then left under the comforting hugs of Marco Reus (32), Jude Bellingham (18), Erling Haaland (21) and Co. from the field. Shortly before the player tunnel he could no longer hold back the tears.
For Reyna, the personal disaster season continues. He started out brilliantly with two goals in three games before a muscle injury kept him out of action for months. Barely back, he injured himself 6-0 against Borussia Monchengladbach again at the end of February. Even then, when he was substituted in the 30th minute, he couldn’t hold back his tears of disappointment.
Giovanni Reyna has already missed 28 BVB season games
Now the new low point during the guest performance in Stuttgart. At first glance, the scene didn’t seem too serious, but a muscular injury is now forcing him to end the season prematurely. In the 2021/2022 season, the highly talented playmaker has just 643 minutes in four competitions, and he has already missed 28 competitive games.
Borussia Dortmund had to pay dearly for the three mandatory points in Swabia. In addition to Reyna’s end of the season, defense bosses Mats Hummels and Mo Dahoud will also be out for an indefinite period. After this epidemic season, BVB is now concerned with ending the Bundesliga season in second place. (sid/bc)
