Liga MX
GTD
Injury Calf
Est. Return 6/14/2026
Calf issue managed carefully
Valencia watched from the bench against Guatemala on Saturday as Ecuador's medical staff continue to manage his recovery from a calf muscle complication he sustained during Pachuca's Liga MX semifinal against Pumas on May 14, according to 365 Scores.
ANALYSIS
Valencia has been seen training alongside his teammates in recent sessions, with the rehabilitation progressing within the planned timeframe and the muscle fatigue gradually subsiding under the care of the national team's medical department. Coach Sebastian Beccacece has made clear he will take no risks with his captain in a friendly fixture, prioritizing having Ecuador's all-time top scorer at full fitness for their World Cup opener against Ivory Coast on June 14 rather than rushing him back prematurely.
