Enner Valencia has shot Ecuador’s last six World Cup goals so there’s no understatement about how moping his country would be is after he was carried off the field on a stretcher against the Netherlands. Ecuador prays that the 33-year-old striker’s troublesome knees are doing fine for a decisive final group match against Senegal on Tuesday. He i jured his right knee against the Netherlands after spraining his left knee in the first game against Qatar. He was standing up and even strolling a little but after a while he had to resort to a stretcher ride with an ice pack strapped to his right leg.
Ecuador’s captain has three goals in two games in Qatar and is elementary for a securing a win. It is their chance of reaching the knockout stage for only the second time.
