When Gio's dad Claudio was a big part of the USMNT that was always the big issue with him. He was great on the field, was always the driver of the team, but he just couldn't seem to stay healthy.

I hope Gio didn't inherit the perpetual injury bug from his dad.

Is that true, that doesn't really jive with what I remember without going to look it up.
John O'Brien is the one I really remember struggling with health, so maybe that overhsadowed it.

Just a quick look at his wikipedia page just for reference (have bolded references to injuries):

As a U.S. national player, Reyna got his first cap against Norway on January 15, 1994. He was a member of the team at the 1994 FIFA World Cup, but did not play due to injury. Reyna did play in the 1998, 2002 and 2006 FIFA World Cups.
In 2002, despite sitting out the opening 32 upset win over Portugal due to injury, he was a key contributor in the next three U.S. games a tie against South Korea, a loss to Poland, and a win over CONCACAF rival Mexico. In the quarterfinals, the U.S. lost to eventual runner-up Germany. He became only the third American ever (after Bert Patenaude and John Souza) named to the World Cup all-tournament team.
In 2006, Reyna again captained the U.S. at the World Cup in Germany. Trailing 10 in the opener against the Czech Republic, Reyna fired a 30-yard shot that bounced off the post, the best American chance in the game. In the final group game against Ghana, Reyna suffered a sprained medial collateral ligament when he lost the ball to Haminu Draman who then dribbled in alone and scored Ghana's first goal.
On June 23, 2006, the day after the U.S. was eliminated from the World Cup, Reyna announced his retirement from the national team. He ended his international career with 111 caps and eight goals.

I loved Reyna, he was my favorite player for the USMNT. But yes, he was injured quite often. John O'Brien was a very tragic tale, he was even worse than Reyna as far as always being hurt.

So you just listed 4 World Cups, he missed the first at age 21 due to injury(may not have played anyways?). Then he missed one game in 2002 and played in the next 4 in a row. He played in all 3 games of 2006, and got injured in the 3rd.
We'd have to see his availability for WCQ and his club to really answer, and that would be very unlikely to be available.
I'll take your word for it, but I wouldnt consider missing 1 game and getting injured in another over the course of 3 world cups quite often injured.

Looked like an ankle injury. Hope it's just a minor sprain. Next international window is the end of March.

Weston McKennie came off w/ an ankle injury suffered during this rough challenge from Pervis Estupinan.

Would expect him to miss a few matches during Juve’s busy upcoming schedule. Here’s hoping he can recover in time for the big March #USMNT qualifiers, which are a month away. pic.twitter.com/IKXdRmRWqi

🚨 Juventus fear that Weston McKennie has fractured his foot, according to @GiovaAlbanese.

Talking to an Ortho buddy he's seeing both fracture and rupture being reported. Fracture he said is 2-3 months and rupture (lisfranc) is closer to 6.

Gutted for him, he has been a beast for club and country.

Okay Captain Argumentative. I followed his career quite closely, he was injured...a lot. I love the guy but he was, I am not making it up as some sort of knock on him. Here is his club career snippet from Wikipedia, you might notice a trend:


Rangers
On April 1, 1999, Rangers paid $826,400 to Wolfsburg and $2.76 million to Leverkusen for Reyna. Reyna would remain with Rangers until December 2001. Despite building his reputation in Germany and on the national team as a creative midfielder, he spent most of his years at Rangers playing right midfield. He scored thirteen goals for the Ibrox club in all competitions, one of the most notable was a strike that proved decisive over Italian club Parma for qualification for the 1999-2000 UEFA Champions League.

Sunderland
From Rangers, he transferred to Premier League side Sunderland, who paid 2.85 million for his services.
In October 2002, he injured the anterior cruciate ligament in his knee, keeping him out of action for the rest of the 2002-03 season.

Manchester City
Reyna joined Manchester City on August 29, 2003, for 2.5 million after a move on the same fee to Fulham collapsed. Reyna's time at City was frequently punctuated by injury, restricting him to thirty appearances in his first season with the club, and causing him to miss six months of the 2004-05 season. In three and a half seasons at the City of Manchester Stadium, Reyna made 87 appearances, scoring four goals and was a popular player with City supporters.

New York Red Bulls
On January 24, 2007, Reyna signed with New York Red Bulls, where he rejoined his former University of Virginia and U.S. national team head coach Bruce Arena. However, much like his years in Britain, Reyna was almost constantly bothered by injuries. He only played in twenty-seven games during two years with New York and only six games in 2008 as he rehabilitated a herniated disc. Reyna announced his professional retirement on July 16, 2008.
