Gio Reyna s alleged fallout with United States head coach Gregg Berhalter at the World Cup was a non-story , according to team-mate Tim Ream.
USA reached the knockout rounds on their return to the competition after eight years away, but saw their stay at Qatar 2022 curtailed after a last-16 loss to the Netherlands.
There was a limited role for Reyna, widely considered one of their best players, with just two appearances off the bench throughout the USMNT s run.
Reports pointed to a disagreement with Berhalter over a lack of effort in training, but Ream has moved to settle the story once and for all as the team continue to decompress.
For us, it s a non-story, he said on his podcast Indirect. We dealt with it in camp, things moved on, we moved past it and that s where we are. We can put that to bed.
We addressed it in camp and [Reyna] did what he had to do, and obviously came on against the Netherlands and helped to drag us back into the game. For us, that s it. That s the end of it.
Two guys from the same town getting to live their childhood dreams Bet nobody had that on their bingo cards?

Meanwhile, USMNT team-mate Christian Pulisic also disclosed he has no current plans to leave Chelsea as it stands, though that could change further down the line.
A coaching turnover between Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter at Stamford Bridge is yet to improve Pulisic s playing time, but speaking on the podcast, the forward stated he is not plotting an exit.
Right now, I m absolutely back at Chelsea, he said. That s where my mind is at, ready to finish the season. But you know in football, things change. Anything can happen.
