The Tricolor left the afternoon of this Monday to Santiago de Chile, where it will complete its visit to the Red, on the 14th date of the tie.
With one last practice on the court, the Ecuadorian team left the squad ready that will face Chile this Tuesday (19:15), at stake for the fourteenth date of the 2022 World Cup qualifier in Qatar.
Before the trip, the Tricolor carried out a field work in the House of the Selection, with which the DT Gustavo Alfaro outlined what the initial team will be against La Roja, looking to secure the third box of the standings.
The main novelty in the working day was the absence of defender Xavier Arreaga, who for one muscle fatigue was released from the call and traveled to the United States to report to his MLS club.
“He is already under the medical care of Seattle Sounders FC”, indicated the Ecuadorian Football Federation in a statement.
Around 1:00 p.m., the tricolor delegation left the House of the Selection and went to the airport to board the charter flight to Santiago.
With the loss of Arreaga, Alfaro has a roster of 29 players available, of which four are tall for this game one time suspension for yellow cards completed.
As worked by the national coach, the Ecuador likely lineup to visit the Red has Alexander Domínguez in the arch; to Byron Castillo, Félix Torres, Piero Hincapié and the return of Pervis Estupiñán on defense.
On midfield maintains Carlos Gruezo and Moisés Caicedo, a couple that would be joined by Alan Franco and Ángel Mena, another of the players who returns after a suspension.
On offensive work Michael Estrada also joins, complementing the work that Jeremy Sarmiento will carry out, who would have the possibility of repeating in the starting eleven of Ecuador.
The game that will face the Red and the Tricolor is scheduled for 19:15 at the San Carlos de Apoquindo stadium and will be led by the Argentine referee team, with Fernando Rapallini at the head. (D)
