The young midfielder, aged 21, has missed Nottingham Forest’s previous two matches against Liverpool and Brighton due to an unfortunate injury setback. This has hindered his ability to make the desired impact during his loan spell at the City Ground.

Reyna has encountered stiff competition for playing time from players such as Morgan Gibbs-White, Anthony Elanga, Callum Hudson-Odoi, and Divock Origi. Consequently, the United States international has only managed to accumulate 39 minutes of game time spread across four substitute appearances.

Despite this, there’s been a sighting of him back on the training field, indicating his return to fitness as Nuno Espirito Santo prepares strategies for the crucial match against Luton. Luton currently sits just one place below Forest in the Premier League relegation zone, making the upcoming fixture pivotal.

Reyna’s creative abilities could prove valuable at Kenilworth Road, possibly as a substitute once again. The American is eager to showcase his talents after opting for a new challenge in England, seizing the opportunity for a loan move from Borussia Dortmund during the winter transfer window.
