The American national player has had a difficult beginning to his tenure in the Premier League after joining the team fighting relegation on loan from Borussia Dortmund in January. Despite eagerly awaiting his first starting opportunity, he won’t be featuring in the upcoming match against Jurgen Klopp’s title-chasing squad.

Reports suggest that Reyna, aged 21, has been omitted from the squad due to a recent injury setback. Although he made a brief appearance in their previous game, he hasn’t recovered sufficiently to participate against Liverpool. However, it’s anticipated that he will resume training next week.

Since moving to Forest in January, Reyna has only appeared four times across all competitions, all as a substitute. His total playing time amounts to 38 minutes in the Premier League, with his most recent involvement being a late substitution during their FA Cup defeat to Manchester United.

Reyna is eager to regain regular first-team action as he aims to secure a spot in the starting lineup for the USMNT ahead of the upcoming Copa America tournament this summer.

Forest, currently positioned four points clear of the Premier League relegation zone, aspire to pull off an unexpected victory against Liverpool in their upcoming Saturday fixture. Meanwhile, Liverpool leads the table, holding a one-point advantage over Manchester City and two points ahead of Arsenal.
