Makes WC squad, league season over
Reyes is not an option for his club's final games of the Clausura campaign as he'll report early to the World Cup training camp, per the Mexican national team's official website.
Analysis: Reyes will be a major absence for the Azulcremas, with his place in the back line most likely taken by Ramon Juarez. The versatile defender had played the full 90 minutes in eight consecutive league matches, providing an assist and averaging 2.8 clearances per game over that span. He should serve as a solid right-back option at the international level, challenging Jorge Eduardo Sanchez in that position, but also offering backup to center-backs Johan Vasquez and Cesar Montes.
Provides assist in victory
Reyes assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Tuesday's 3-2 victory versus Leon.
Analysis: Reyes intercepted the ball and sent it forward into the attacking half, where Brian Rodriguez made a big dribbling play for the third-minute opener. The assist opened Reyes' goal contributions count in 14 Clausura appearances, as he continued to get more frequently involved in defensive actions. He has played a vital role, switching between right-sided and center-back positions lately, but he might have only one more chance to produce this season, with his potential call-up to the Mexican national team forcing him to miss the playoffs.
