Reyna finishes fourth in 2017 MLS Comeback Player of the Year voting

Vancouver Whitecaps FC attacking midfielder Yordy Reyna has finished fourth in voting for the 2017 MLS Comeback Player of the Year award, Major League Soccer announced today.

The winner of the award, which honours a player who has overcome injuries and/or adversity in order to achieve success during the regular season, was Seattle Sounders FC striker Clint Dempsey, who was diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat in 2016.

Reyna, for his part, suffered a fifth metatarsal fracture of his left foot in the preseason just a week after joining the team, forcing him to miss the first four months of the season.
