Ecuador will be without Alan Franco and Alan Minda for the upcoming friendlies against Costa Rica and Bolivia, after both midfielders were left out of the national team squad.
The absences are a notable setback for the Ecuadorian side as it prepares for two warm-up matches. Both players have been part of the national team setup, so their omission will draw attention as the squad takes shape for the games.
The friendlies against Costa Rica and Bolivia give the side a chance to test its options ahead of the coming months, with the squad selection offering a first look at who will be involved.
