NextImg:Revolution lose three key players to FIFA international duty

New England Revolution coach Caleb Porter has needed all hands-on deck during the team’s busy stretch of eight games in 26 days.

Unfortunately for the first-year field manager dealing with condensed Concacaf and MLS scheduling, all leaves have not been cancelled.

The Revolution announced on Friday that dynamic young home-grown midfielders Noel Buck and Esmir Bajraktarevic and goalkeeper Henrich Ravas have been called up for FIFA international duty. Their end of the month excursions will include training camp and a pair of friendlies.

Bajraktarevic has been called up by the U.S. Men’s team to compete against Ghana on March 22 at Nou Estadi Municipal in Olot, Spain. The U.S. will play France on March 25 at Stade Bonal in Montbeliard, France.

Buck was summoned by England’s Under-19 Men’s National team. The English crew will host Morocco in Rabat, Eng., on March 21 and the U.S. squad on March 24 in Sale, Morocco.

Ravas was called up by the Slovakian National in preparation for the 2024 European Football Championship. Slovakia will compete against Austria on March 23 and Norway on March 26. All three hope to participate in the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.

The call ups come at a difficult time. The Revolution (0-3) are winless in MLS competition and begin a three-game homestand starting Sunday against the 2024 Supporters Shield winner FC Cincinnati. All three will miss the Revolution’s home match against Chicago Fire FC on March 23. The Revolution resume Concacaf Champions Cup play in leg one of a home-and-home series against Club America on April 2 at Gillette Stadium. Leg two will be played on April 9 at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City.
