5) Claudio Reyna – Sunderland & Manchester City
Reyna received 112 caps for the United States and he is widely regarded as one of the best players that the country has produced. However, his time in England was plagued by injuries.
Just nine months after moving to Sunderland, he sustained an ACL injury which kept him out for the remainder of the 2002/03 season. He moved on to Manchester City but he only managed 88 appearances over three and a half years.
