The cast led by Juan Carlos León will keep goalkeeper Jorge Pinos and forward Mauro Da Luz on their squad.
Panamanians Ricardo Phillips and Alfredo Stephens, Uruguayan Darwin Torres, and Colombian Harrison Mojica will reinforce on October 9 in the 2022 season, which has the South American Cup as an international challenge for the traditional Guayaquil cast.
The Patriota Team, which returned to the Ecuadorian soccer elite in 2021 with the national coach Juan Carlos León on the bench, will play the preliminary phase of the South American Cup, which will begin in March, against the Delfin of the city of Manta.
The campaign that guaranteed promotion in 2020 featured Panamanian striker José Fajardo, who will not continue in the team, but opened the doors to his compatriots Phillips, 20, and Stephens, 27.
Fajardo’s outstanding performance in the LigaPro Serie A 2021 succeeded that of his compatriot Gabriel Torres, scorer for Independiente del Valle between 2019 and 2020.

Of the Uruguayan reinforcements, defender Torres is 30 years old. Colombian midfielder Mojica will also make his debut this season.
