Out of favour at Corinthians, Félix Torres joins Ecuador for friendlies | OneFootball

Even though he is out of favor at Corinthians, defender Félix Torres remains a regular presence in the Ecuador national team. This Saturday, with the defender’s name included, coach Sebástian Becaccece released the list of 28 players called up for the team’s two matches during this FIFA window.

Ecuador will play two friendlies this November. The first is scheduled for next Thursday (13th), at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), against Canada. After that, Félix Torres’ team will face New Zealand on the 18th (Tuesday), at 10:30 p.m.

Struggling at Corinthians, the defender has also lost ground in the Ecuador squad. In the last four games, Félix Torres played only five minutes, coming on in the final stretch of the match against Paraguay, still during the South American Qualifiers for the World Cup.

As for Corinthians, Félix Torres hasn’t played since August 27, when he was on the field for about 25 minutes in the first leg against Athletico-PR in the Copa do Brasil. Since then, he has become the fifth choice in the black-and-white defense, behind Gustavo Henrique, Tchoca, André Ramalho, and Cacá.

Besides the Ecuadorian defender, Corinthians has had only one other player called up for the November FIFA window so far – Memphis Depay was called up by the Netherlands. The goalkeeper Hugo Souza was also called up by the Brazilian National Team, but was cut due to injury.
