Communications could be about to confirm its first losses for the Apertura 2026 Tournament. Cuban midfielder Dairon Reyes and Mexican midfielder Gael Sandoval published messages on their social networks that point to the closing of their cycle with the white team, in what would be the first concrete departures of the 12 that coach Marco Antonio Figueroa announced at the end of Clausura 2026.
Dairon Reyes was the first to set off alarms among the cream fans. The Cuban attacker published on his account instagram an image in what appears to be an airport with the phrase “New chapter loading… (New chapter loading…)” accompanied by an airplane emoji, suggesting the beginning of a new stage in her career.
The publication that ended up unleashing the melancholy of the followers was a photograph of him during a match with the Cremas set to music with the song “In case I’m not here tomorrow,” a message that the fans interpreted as an almost official farewell to the player who arrived at the club in the 2025 Apertura Tournament and who had an outstanding participation in the 2026 Clausura, earning the affection of the albo fans in one of the most complicated seasons in the club’s recent history.
For his part, Gael Sandoval, who joined the cream team in the 2026 Clausura Tournament from Alianza FC of El Salvador, shared a message through his broadcast channel that also points to his farewell. “I’m boarding the plane to Mexico and I want to take the opportunity to thank life for another chapter in my life. Thanks to all the people I met, I’m going for my next challenge,” wrote the Mexican midfielder, who came to Comunicaciones with the mission of providing offensive projection and construction capacity in a tournament where the Cremas needed to get out of the relegation zone.
The first casualties
The possible departures of Reyes and Sandoval are part of the massive restructuring that coach Marco Antonio Figueroa announced in a press conference after Clausura 2026. “12 are leaving this team, because on this team not everyone deserves to be on a team like Comunicaciones,” said the “Fantasma”, who also warned that the club needs a profound renovation to once again compete at the level demanded by the most successful institution in Guatemalan football.
The cream fans have reacted with nostalgia to the messages of both players on social networks. While one sector regrets the possible loss of Dairon Reyes, a player with projection and technique who won the affection of the fans, others wish him success in his next destination, which everything indicates would be outside of Guatemala.
Communications will face a summer of important changes ahead of Apertura 2026 where it will seek to put together a more competitive squad that will allow it to fight for the first places from the start of the Apertura 2026 tournament.
