“We have been very surprised by the content of the reporting on Gio Reyna over the last few days. He has had a really difficult time with injuries. We have known the boy for many years, although he is only 20. We see him as a good guy who works professionally and is a valued teammate in the dressing room. The fact that this is now fundamentally being questioned after a few days in Qatar is incomprehensible for us at BVB and does not do justice to Gio Reyna.”
