Hudson announced a 24-player group for CONCACAF Nations League matches in Grenada on 24th March and at home against El Salvador on 27th March in Orlando, Florida.
Reyna, a 20-year-old midfielder, played only 52 minutes over four matches for the US at the World Cup in Qatar last year. After the tournament, Berhalter mentioned an anonymous player was nearly sent home from Qatar for poor attitude and a lack of commitment to the team, with Reyna later admitting he was the player and apologizing for his actions.
In January, it was revealed that Reyna's parents, former US captain Claudio Reyna and his wife Danielle, had complained about Berhalter to the US Soccer Federation and revealed an incident of domestic violence involving Berhalter and his future wife from 1992. A law firm conducted an investigation for US Soccer and determined information regarding the incident was not improperly withheld by Berhalter.
