LOS ANGELES — Forward Gio Reyna, the player at the center of a three-month soap opera that has engulfed and embarrassed U.S. Soccer, was called up to the national team Wednesday for Nations League games with Grenada and El Salvador.
The roster announcement comes two days after U.S. Soccer released a report detailing the friction between World Cup coach Gregg Berhalter and the Reyna family, one that began at last fall's tournament in Qatar and left both men's futures with the national team in doubt.
The report cleared Berhalter of any wrongdoing, but the federation has not decided whether to offer the coach a new contract. In the meantime, Anthony Hudson, a U.S. assistant in Qatar, is managing the team. Hudson visited Reyna last month in Germany, where he plays for Borussia Dortmund, and has called him back to the national team for the first time since the World Cup.
