Emelec and Barcelona do not neglect their training for the key match that they will play this Sunday at 19:00 in the George Capwell stadium, corresponding to matchday 11 of the second phase of the LigaPro.
In the millonarios team, winger Joao Rojas could miss the most important match of this stage for his team due to a knee injury that prevented him from finishing the match against Delfín (3-2) on matchday 9, played on November 22. Rojas is still in the recovery process and is expected to be in optimal condition to play in the Clásico del Astillero this Sunday.
On the other hand, Leandro Vega is another player who is doing separate training in the millonario squad and his progress is expected for this Sunday, while Colombian midfielder Alexis Zapata is already training with his teammates.
- 'Beware of the players who have not played with VAR,' warns former referee Omar Ponce
Another member of the blue team who has done separate work is Romario Caicedo, one of the players who has become influential in the electric team.
The coaching staff hopes that he recovers from the discomfort and is ready for the Clásico.
Calmness in BSC
On the other hand, in the yellow store, Michael Arroyo continues to do separate work, while Mario Pineida, Gabriel Marques, Jonatan Álvez and Darío Aimar, who had done separate work, have already joined training and are at the coach's disposal Fabián Bustos.
Álvez had an ankle blow that prevented him from training regularly. Pineida recovered from coronavirus. Gabriel Marques and Darío Aimar had muscle discomfort that caused their absence in the last match against Macará (3-0).
- The second best offense will face the least beaten defense
Goalkeeper Javier Burrai stated that they will seek to take the three points to continue fighting in the second phase. "It is a match that can define many things; it will be important to get the three points because there will be 12 left to play. We are preparing during the week in a good way to arrive in optimal conditions for this Sunday," assured the goalkeeper to BSC TV.
The referee team for the Clásico del Astillero, where the VAR system will be implemented for the first time in matches of this nature and in LigaPro, will be headed by Guillermo Enrique Guerrero as the referee; Christian Lescano, assistant one; and Byron Romero, assistant two, while Roberto Paúl Sánchez will be the fourth official.
The VAR will be directed by Carlos Aníbal Orbe and the AVAR by Luis Eduardo Quiroz. Former referee Omar Ponce will fulfill the role of VAR observer and Elton Iko García will be the match commissioner. (D)
