Gio Reyna

had to leave the field during the

’ goalless draw with

on Tuesday, with many fans worried that his injury might be serious while World Cup in Qatar is coming up in less than two months. The

player, who has been a crucial player under the reign of Gregg Berhalter and is expected to shine in Qatar later this year, limped off and got replaced by Paul Arriola.

He has a history of injuries with Borussia Dortmund and many are concerned over his departure. However, his national team released a statement on social media to assure fans that things are fine, saying that the Borussia Dortmund winger was called a “precautionary measure” after sustaining “muscle tightness”.

Berhalter’s men started the battle in Spain very brightly; however, Saudi Arabia could not turn their best chance into goal when DeAndre Yedlin, who was also sent off because of injury later on, made a last-ditch block and denied Hattan Bahebri. In the second half, Jesus Ferreira received a great chance but failed to deliver. They will go to the World Cup having suffered a poor form as they lost the battle against Japan 2-0 last week.
