Giovanni Reyna to Join USMNT–Not U-23s for Olympic Qualifying–in March

Giovanni Reyna's ascent at Borussia Dortmund has not gone unnoticed by the U.S. men's national team.

The 17-year-old Reyna will be called in by the full national team for March friendlies vs. Wales and the Netherlands, USMNT manager Gregg Berhalter confirmed to Yahoo Sports while appearing at an MLS season launch event in New York on Wednesday. That call-up, while a landmark one for Reyna, comes at a cost for the U-23 men's national team, which is attempting to qualify for the Olympics for the first time since 2008.

Given the overlap between the two, Reyna won't be available for U-23 manager Jason Kreis–all this despite being included on a 50-player provisional roster submitted to Concacaf and revealed on Tuesday.
