Ecuador are awaiting further tests on veteran striker Enner Valencia before deciding whether he is fit enough to start against the Netherlands in Friday’s clash of the Group A joint leaders, coach Gustavo Alfaro said.
The 33-year-old scored both goals in Ecuador’s opening 2-0 win against Qatar and is pivotal to their World Cup hopes, but he limped off late in that game with a knee strain.

“The tests showed that he doesn’t have an injury but the trauma is very serious. We’ll have a look at him this afternoon and decide,” Alfaro told reporters.

“I said the other day that not even fire could stop Enner. If it’s up to him, he will play. Let’s give it the benefit of the doubt and hope he responds well in this afternoon’s training.”
Alfaro said the pressure was off Ecuador given the Netherlands’ higher ranking and presumed superiority.

“We have everything to win and nothing to lose,” he said, comparing it to games against heavyweights Brazil and Argentina in the South American qualifiers.
“I’m happy with my team. But Holland is a big rival,” he added, noting their transformation under coach Louis van Gaal.
