Option for club
Reyes (international duty) will be available for upcoming league games following his return from the Mexican national team, per Claro Sports.
Analysis: Reyes is now set to focus on club responsibilities, where he's a key piece of the Azulcremas' system. He previously operated as a center-back but is now expected to move to midfield with summer signings Santi Bueno and Santiago Ramos Mingo taking the defensive spots. Such positional adjustment could allow the versatile player to get more involved in playmaking and offensive duties, though most of his value may still come from defensive production.
Midfield effort before NT duty
Reyes registered one shot (one on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Guadalajara. He'll now be unavailable for one league contest after being called up to the Mexican national team.
Analysis: Reyes played the full 90 minutes in a holding midfield role, moving away from his former center-back spot and gaining increased involvement in the attacking phase compared to his usual defensive duties. The positional shift appears to be the new plan going forward as the coaching staff integrates late signings Santi Bueno and Santiago Ramos Mingo into the back line, with Ramon Juarez as additional cover, effectively pushing Reyes out of the defensive line entirely. The versatile player will miss the next match against Necaxa due to a Mexican national team call-up, targeting a comeback in the Oct. 10 meeting with Monterrey, so Erick Sanchez might return to the initial lineup in the meantime.
