He was, however, included from the off in a home date with Wolves and caught the eye during a 71-minute outing. Reyna came close to scoring himself on a couple of occasions, while swinging over the corner that saw Morgan Gibbs-White register Forest’s first goal in a 2-2 draw.
WHAT NUNO SAID ABOUT REYNA
Nuno Espirito Santo told reporters afterwards when asked about Reyna’s performance and what he has to offer the Reds’ cause: “He played good. He gave us good possession. He had good situations, good passing and finishing. He is a good option for us and different to what we have normally. He did okay.”
WHAT NEXT FOR REYNA?
A point against Wolves has kept Forest out of the Premier League relegation zone. They have five games left to take in this season, with Reyna hoping to figure prominently in a push for top-flight survival before a decision is made on the long-term future of the Borussia Dortmund-owned playmaker.
