That hasn't happened.

Florian Neuhaus, another very good player.

And they have a young talent called Wael Moya.

who's a teenager, and he might be stealing Reyna's thunder.

So I think if you're a US national team fan, you might be a little bit concerned because he's running out of games between now and the World Cup, if that is your focus.

I think from a Gladbach point of view, they're sort of on the cusp of a relegation scrap.

I don't think they will go down, but they're only three points ahead of the relegation playoff position.

And when you're in that sort of position, you need certain types.

And Eugen Polanski, the coach, is very much what I would say is a pressing coach, pressing style, high pressing against the ball.

You know, not necessarily a lot of possession, but making those pressing moments count.

Is Gio Reyna, when he gets fit, the player for that sort of setup in the predicament Gladbach are in?

I think it's going to be tough.

Well, I'm actually going to say, and this might surprise you a little bit, stop down.

This is based on the last few matches, not necessarily the whole season, because I think he started pretty well in this campaign, scored a goal against Augsburg when Gladbach wiped the floor with them.

But since then, it has been stopped down and his performances have deteriorated.

And so much so, he lost his place at the weekend to a guy called Jens Kastrop, who's

an international for the Korea Republic.

And Kastrop was one of the best two players in the game, playing in that right wing-back position.

And Scali only came on later on.

That was in the 1-1 draw with Leverkusen up against the aforementioned Malik Tillmann.
