DOHA, Qatar — U.S. men's national team head coach Gregg Berhalter reportedly said at a leadership summit on Tuesday that he considered sending a player home from the 2022 World Cup because the player 'was clearly not meeting expectations on and off the field.'
among fans and media. Berhalter, at his postgame news conference, said that Reyna had"a little bit of [muscle] tightness that we were guarding against," but also explained Reyna's absence tactically. Reyna, speaking to Yahoo Sports that night, acknowledged tightness but said he"definitely felt 100%" by matchday. Three days later, Berhalter said it was a"coach's decision" to not play him.
Berhalter, who did not name Reyna at the summit, said of the anonymous player: “What it came down to was, we're going to have one more conversation with him, and part of the conversation was how we're going to behave from here out. There aren’t going to be any more infractions. Reyna played eight minutes against England, then zero against Iran. Berhalter, when asked about his lack of involvement ahead of the team’s Round of 16 game against the Netherlands, offered a tactical explanation.
