The absence of goalkeeper Moisés Ramírez and the call of naturalized Argentine Javier Burrai to replace him stand out in the list of 26 called up to the Ecuador team with a view to the double date against Venezuela and Chile for the South American qualifiers.
“Araña” Ramírez was the starting goalkeeper in the team’s last two games, but an injury to his left leg during practices with the Independiente del Valle club left him disabled.
Helmsman Félix Sánchez Bas called up Burrai, current goalkeeper and second captain of Barcelona, to take Ramírez’s place.
Pervis Estupiñán, a key player in the defense of the Ecuadorian team, continues to be sidelined due to a left leg injury, suffered during a match with Brighton, his club in the English Premier League. He was also unable to accompany the tricolor on the third and fourth dates.
On this occasion, the Spanish helmsman opted for defender Leonel Quiñónez and midfielder Óscar Zambrano, both from the Quito League.
He also ratified John Yeboah, the player of the Polish club Raków Częstochowa and with dual German and Ecuadorian nationality.
The Tricolor accumulates four points, occupying sixth place in the qualifying round, the last place that grants a direct ticket to the World Cup. They will face Venezuela on November 16, which is in fourth position with seven points.
On the 21st they will host Chile, which is in eighth place, one below the step that allows them to compete in an intercontinental playoff as a way to access the World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada.
