Gio Reyna recalled by Berhalter for U.S. after family feud - ESPN

The return of Borussia Dortmund attacker Gio Reyna under U.S. men's national team manager Gregg Berhalter highlights the 23-player roster that will prepare for friendlies against Germany in Hartford, Connecticut, on Oct. 14, and Ghana in Nashville, Tennessee, three days later.

The camp will mark the first time that Reyna and Berhalter have worked together since a feud between the Reyna and Berhalter families burst into public view last January.

The incident first centered on Reyna's lack of playing time at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, and his subsequent poor behavior on how he was used. Berhalter disclosed at a leadership conference that he almost sent an unnamed player — later identified as Reyna — home because of a poor attitude.

In response, Reyna's mother, Danielle, disclosed to U.S. Soccer's then-sporting director Earnie Stewart a decades-old domestic violence incident between Berhalter and his now wife, Rosalind. U.S. Soccer initiated an investigation into the incident, which concluded that the Berhalters didn't try to hide the incident, clearing the way for the manager to be rehired last June.

The USMNT was managed by a pair of interim managers, first Anthony Hudson and later B.J. Callaghan through July's Concacaf Gold Cup. A subsequent leg injury Reyna sustained at the Concacaf Nations League final in June prevented Reyna and Berhalter from working together since the latter returned to his post.

According to U.S. Soccer sporting director Matt Crocker, it was only recently that Reyna and Berhalter discussed what happened in the weeks after the World Cup, but the pair are now prepared to «move forward.»

Reyna hasn't played for club or country since the injury,
