Reyna was named to the bench by Edin Terzic for Tuesday's Champions League opener, but the U.S. men's national team star did not feature as Dortmund fell 2-0 at the Parc des Princes.

The 20-year-old midfielder had missed the start of the season for Dortmund, as well as the USMNT's September friendlies, while recovering from an injury suffered in the Nations League final earlier this summer.

His inevitable return is good news for Dortmund, who benefitted from his creativity so often last season, as well as the USMNT, although everyone will have to wait to see him actually return to the field after several months of recovery.
