From this week's Flying Kiwis. Visa issues (now sorted) maybe to blame for Reid yet to be sighted Stateside.

Winston Reid is due to return to the US from London tomorrow after finalizing his visa for his move to Kansas City.

Per Sporting KC spokesperson: "Our medical staff are taking all the necessary precautions with Winston upon his return before we re-integrate him into the team."

A little more context here in what’s been a really weird saga to get a handle on with Winston Reid’s transfer to Sporting KC. The unique situation he’s in at West Ham where he’s not only on a long term contract but he’s probably unwanted and also hasn’t played for two years doesn’t help, nor does the very different footy culture of the MLS where he’s headed. Plus Winnie’s a notoriously reserved character.

Apparently at some point he’d had to go back to London while waiting for that visa to come through which makes a lot more sense as to why he didn’t feature in their first couple games of the season. Hopefully he got in under the travel restrictions. Who knows when he’ll next get to play but that’s the situation, no dramas. Play it as it lays.
