Alex Roldan will represent El Salvador internationally, report says

Alex Roldan has decided to represent El Salvador at the international level, according to various reports. It had previously been reported that Roldan had turned down interest from Guatemala — one of the three countries for which he was eligible — but it was unclear as to why he had done that. Now, it seems more clear.

It was not immediately clear if Roldan would be able to gain El Salvador eligibility in time to play in the Gold Cup next month, but this decision was likely more influenced by their advancement to the final round of Concacaf World Cup qualifying.
