Ecuador began training at the Conmebol site with a view to the clash with Paraguay

At the headquarters of Conmebol, which is in the city of Luque, Paraguay, a few kilometers from the capital of Paraguay, Asunción, the Ecuadorian team began its preparation this Monday for the confrontation on date 17 of the South American tie against the Paraguayan team. .

According to local media that covers the Tricolor expedition in Guarani land, the team led by Gustavo Alfaro trained around 08:00 (Ecuadorian time) at the site located in Luque.

Likewise, it was reported that during the afternoon or night of this Monday the campus will be completed with the arrival of the last ‘legionnaires’.

A double day of training is planned for this Monday, as indicated in a report from The Soccer Channelofficial station of the Ecuadorian Football Federation (FEF).

The National Team’s Twitter account released images of the first session in the afternoon showing Moisés Caicedo, Jeremy Sarmiento, Djorkaeff Reasco and Michael Estrada, the Tri’s top scorer in the current World Cup qualifying round.

The National Team has been concentrated in Paraguay since Sunday night after an advanced group of seven players, along with the coaching staff commanded by Alfaro, landed at 7:00 p.m. on a charter flight at the Silvio Petirossi airport in Luque.

Goalkeeper Jorge Pinos, who played the game with 9 de Octubre against Gualaceo on Sunday, and midfielder Joao Rojas, who did not get to play Emelec’s game against Delfín on Monday, presumably undertook a trip this morning bound for Paraguay to join to concentration.

Ecuador occupies third place in the South American qualifier with 25 points, so they will hope to confirm their classification in the same position or in fourth place in the last two dates.

For the matches against Paraguay, in Ciudad del Este, and Argentina, in Guayaquil, Alfaro will miss goalkeeper Alexander Domínguez, due to suspension and also due to injury.

The meeting of the Tricolor with the Albirroja will take place at 18:30 this Thursday at the Antonio Aranda stadium in Ciudad del Este, 330 km east of Asunción.

While on Tuesday the 29th he will receive the Albiceleste at 6:30 p.m. at the Monumental Banco Pichincha stadium, on the 18th, which will mark the closing of the South American pre-world championship. (D)
