Borussia Dortmund hopes to have Gio Reyna back fit following international break

Gio Reyna will not play a part in the U.S. men’s national team’s upcoming World Cup Qualifiers, but the American winger should be back in action at club level following the October international break.

Borussia Dortmund manager Marco Rose confirmed Friday that Reyna will miss Saturday’s Bundesliga showdown with Augsburg and will stay with the club through the upcoming international break. Dortmund is also aiming to schedule a friendly during the break for players like Reyna and others to gain match fitness before the club resumes competitive play on October 16 vs. Mainz.

“Gio Reyna is not back yet, same with Erling Haaland. He tried, but the pain is still too strong,” Rose said Friday in a press conference. “We hope to get Gio Reyna fit for Mainz and will also play a test match during the break.”

Reyna was not included in Gregg Berhalter’s 27-player roster on Thursday for upcoming World Cup Qualifiers against Jamaica, Panama, and Costa Rica. The 18-year-old suffered a hamstring injury in a 0-0 draw with El Salvador in September, which forced him to miss eventual qualifiers against Canada and Honduras.

Reyna has missed the last five competitive matches for Dortmund, in which the club has won four of them, including its opening two matches in the UEFA Champions League. His exclusion from the USMNT roster has seen Berhalter call in Brenden Aaronson, Paul Arriola, and Matthew Hoppe as wing options as both Reyna and Christian Pulisic miss out through respective injuries.

Borussia Dortmund is fourth in the Bundesliga standings and could finish as high as second following weekend’s end pending it defeats Augsburg and Bayer Leverkusen and Wolfsburg drop points.

元都議の木下富美子氏に懲役10月求刑 4年間12回の交通違反、検察指摘

木下富美子前東京都議(2021年11月22日撮影) 東京都議選期間中などに無免許運転を繰り返したとして、道交法違反の罪で在宅起訴され、議員辞職した元都議木下富美子被告(55)は25日、東京地裁(平出喜一裁判官)の初公判で起訴内容を認めた。検察側は「日常的に繰り返し、情状酌量の余地はない」として懲役10月を求刑。弁護側は寛大な処分を求め結審した。判決は2月15日。検察側は冒頭陳述などで、都議会議事堂への登庁や街頭演説に向かう際に無免許運転をしたと明らかにした。さらに2017年から約4年間で計12回、ミニバイクの運転中などに交通違反をしたとも指摘した。木下被告は被告人質問で時折涙声になり、新型コロナウイルス感染拡大を理由に「選挙活動の手伝いで運転できる人が少なく、自分でするしかなかった。都議選へのプレッシャーでまともな判断ができなかった」と釈明。その上で「規範意識が薄かった」と謝罪した。木下被告は21年7月、都議選板橋区選挙区に「都民ファーストの会」から出馬し、再選。その後、選挙期間中に無免許運転で停車中の車にぶつかり、乗っていた男性ら2人に軽傷を負わせたのに逃げ、公表しなかったことが発覚した。起訴状によると、21年5月29日~7月2日に計7回、公安委員会の運転免許を受けずに板橋区の道路などで乗用車を運転したとしている。当時は免許停止期間中だった。木下被告は人身事故を巡っても書類送検されたが、東京地検は、自動車運転処罰法違反(過失傷害)容疑については起訴猶予、道交法違反(事故不申告)容疑は嫌疑不十分の不起訴とした。(共同)
