Marco Reus had a slow start to his 2025.
He was sidelined for more than a month due to a knee injury, but as of late, he has shown his quality, despite the Galaxy’s current 15-game winless streak.
Reus has had a goal contribution (either goal or assist) in three consecutive games. He’s also found his health and fitness, playing 90 minutes in four of the last five games.
“At the end of the day, the key for Marco is getting on the ball, getting him in places where he can face forward,” Galaxy coach Greg Vanney said. “Getting guys who are running with him and around him so that he can just deliver because his vision is so good and his touch is so soft.
“I think as we continue to get healthy and get Joe (Joseph Paintsil) around him and Gabe (Gabriel Pec) around him and guys who are going to give him those runs that he’s going to help slide into players and pick out the passes that he needs to, it’s going to help him a lot.”
Reus has three goals and four assists in 10 games. He’s started in seven and has nearly doubled his total regular-season minutes from last season.
“I feel much better than weeks ago,” Reus said after the May 18 game against LAFC. “I was one month out because of my knee problem. It’s bothering me still a little bit, but it’s much, much better. I don’t know when it was the last time that I had three games in one week with those kind of minutes.”
The Galaxy, who suffered a 2-1 loss Saturday at San Diego FC, return home for two games to close out the month, starting Wednesday against the San Jose Earthquakes.
“He’s not in a position now where he’s going to pull off wins all on his own,” Vanney said. “He’s going to help be the engine and the guy who facilitates a lot of these final actions and get guys on the ball and put them in the places they need to be.”
Wrapping up the month of May at home
After hosting San Jose, the Galaxy will host Real Salt Lake Saturday to close out the month of May.
When you’re struggling, any positive result would have been viewed as a momentum builder. However, instead of riding two tough draws into Wednesday’s game, the Galaxy have to regroup after the late goal against San Diego turned a draw into a loss.
“It’s frustrating,” midfielder Diego Fagundez said. “But at the end of the day, we have to still stay strong. I want to say it’s a long season but it’s really not at this point. It’s the only way, sticking together, trying to get as much as we can out of people and at the end of the day, our mentality needs to be better.
“Like I said, when we go on away trips, a point is not that bad. We just need to learn how to finish out games.”
