Elche lose three key players to the international break | OneFootball

Lucas Cepeda, Roy Revivo and Adam Boayar represent the Elche side with their respective national teams

The international break has interrupted the competition, but not the activity of all Elche players. Three members of the squad have been called up by their national teams and will face international commitments over the coming weeks. Lucas Cepeda, Roy Revivo and Adam Boayar will represent the Verdiblancos in Chile, Israel and Morocco, respectively.

Their situations are different. While Cepeda and Revivo have played a prominent role at the start of the season, Boayar has yet to make his debut for the first team. The break will allow all three to enjoy an international experience, although it will also force Anselmi to work for several days without them.

Cepeda and Revivo, two players with a key role

Lucas Cepeda has become one of Elche’s attacking options during the opening matchdays. The Chilean will take part with his national team in several friendlies against Canada, the United States and Mexico. His call-up comes at a time when the player is looking to keep gaining importance within Anselmi’s project.

Roy Revivo will also be away with his national team. The Israeli full-back will face four official Nations League matches against Austria, Ireland and Kosovo. His inclusion in the squad confirms the level of activity he will have during a break in which he must combine international commitments with the physical demands of competition.

The third call-up is for Adam Boayar, named in Morocco Under-23s for two friendlies against Mali and Tanzania. The academy product has not yet played any minutes with the first team, so this experience could help him continue his development and gain competitive rhythm.

His situation is different from that of Cepeda and Revivo. While the other two players are featuring in the coach’s plans, Boayar is looking to carve out a place in a squad with several attacking alternatives. The matches with Morocco could offer him minutes and experience in an international setting.

A break with work still to do

The presence of three internationals reduces Anselmi’s options for a few days when it comes to working with the full group. However, the Argentine coach will also have time to analyze the first matches, correct mistakes and continue fine-tuning the team’s mechanisms.

While Cepeda, Revivo and Boayar represent Elche with their national teams, Anselmi will have the opportunity to continue building the team. The objective will be for everyone to return ready to face a schedule in which the Elche side
