Félix Torres of Corinthians called up by Ecuador for World Cup qualifiers | OneFootball

With an eye on the last two rounds of the South American Qualifiers, Ecuador announced on Saturday the players who will represent the country in the games against Paraguay and Argentina, on September 4 and 9, respectively. Coach Sebastian Beccacece called up four players who play in Brazilian football, among them, defender Félix Torres, from Corinthians.

In addition to Torres, midfielder Alan Franco (Atlético-MG), forward Enner Valencia (Internacional) and winger Gonzalo Plata (Flamengo) were also called up.

Defender Arboleda, from São Paulo, who is usually called up for Ecuador, is injured at Tricolor and, therefore, unable to play for his country.

Controversial at Corinthians

Despite being a regular in the Ecuadorian national team, Félix Torres is constantly criticized at Corinthians. The defender has been involved in controversial moments with the Timão shirt, such as the poor performance in the second leg of the Paulistão final, and the expulsion against Racing-URU, for the South American.

This season, Félix has 27 games for Corinthians, with one goal scored, against Barcelona-EQU, in the pre-Libertadores.
